KNIGHTLY VICTORY Students, teachers and everyone in- volved were the success of Homecom- ing 1982. The true spirit and excite- ment of Homecoming began the preceding week with students’ attire relating to the theme of that day. On Friday, the traditional ‘‘maroon and gray’’ theme was obvious as students gathered outside for the afternoon pep rally. Although every class was spirited, the seniors gained two spirit points for the longest spirit chain and the best decorated hall. Planning on watching the Warriors get a good country whipping, the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y float wins most spirited. Winning most original, the German Club awaits the frosting of the Warriors. Although the Booster Club did not win a prize, the idea of roasting the Warriors came through loud and clear. Winning best all around, the Art Club shows the crowd how hazardous Southern Knights can be. 16 Homecoming Parade

Though the dance at school may have flopped, many couples trickled to so-called homecoming dance ‘“‘after parties.’’ These parties, where couples could enjoy not only dancing to ‘“‘good music,’’ but also talking in privacy, were bigger hits than the poor music they had just left. Although better dances have been held at the school, the after parties or dances sufficiently allowed enough time for students to forget about the school’s dance and become involved in a world of their own. After dancing Marydale Bizzll and Tim Finkler decide to take a seat. Having no intentions of giving up this dance with Brigitt Goss, Tom Gregory and Luke Palmer fight for the honor.

Early that evening the stands were filled once again for the homecoming parade. Spectators enjoyed the pre- game parade of floats, marching band and princesses. After an exciting first half, the homecoming festivities continued with best float honors to the Art Club, Best Over all; German Club, Most Original and Tri-Hi-Y Hi-Y, Most Spirited. After the winners were acknowledged, the band provided background music. Then the princesses were escorted on; to the field and the queen was announced. Even though the crowd feared defeat several times, a victorious game and a lovely queen made this year’s Homecoming enjoyable for everyone. Celebrating Halloween early, Clark Andrs fashions the latest head gear for English class. Looking like a bar room brawl having already taken place, the remains of the prize winning senior hall stands vacant. Wearing blue and orange hair, Danny Lund- berg, Jeff Stanfield, and Cory Cuje have become part of a new breed. Punks! Homecoming Week 17
