H 0 M E C 0 M I N G Rain may fall. . . but Spirit stands tall! Homecoming '86 was almost rained out! Friday morning, October 3, everyone was beginning to get discouraged as it began raining. By the time the parade came, it was pouring and so the parade was cancelled. In the afternoon the girls ended up playing floor hockey and then tug-of-war in the gym because they could not play powder-puff football as it had been planned. When game time came it had stopped raining, but because the field was wet the floats and the cars with the attendants were not able to drive around the playing area during halftime. The Tekonsha Indians were defeated by the Camden-Frontier Redskins, 9-6. The cheerleaders picked out some new and very unusual dress up days for students to make the week exciting. Monday was picture day, but students didn't understand what Pants, Socks, and Shoes” day meant so no one really dressed up. Tuesday was Beach Bum and Bunny” day. Everyone got into this because they got to wear shorts. Wednesday was Opposite Sex day. There were some really weird results from this day. Thursday was Camouflage and Safari day. It really looked as though Rambo and come to Tekonsha to stay! Friday, the one and only Red and White day took place and just about everyone participated. Wednesday night the snake dance was supposed to take place, but it had to be cancelled because it was raining. There was a pep rally and dance held in the gym to take the place of the snake dance. The annual Homecoming Dance was sponsored by the Junior class. They picked True Colors by Cindy Lauper for the theme of the dance. Paulette Struwin and George Feltner were crowned 1986-87 Homecoming Queen and King by last year's attendants, Beth Russell and Brian Saltzgaber. Mrs. Fogel donated the refreshments for the dance. Homecoming King and Queen, George Feltner and Paulette Struwin are crowned Attendants. Jcnni Vosburg and Bruce Warner Attendants, Donna Webber and Brian Norgan Attendants.
