Buying corsages and wondering whether or not you're getting asked to the dance are just some of the events involved with homecoming. Everyone began to prepare for the homecoming football game and the crowning of the queen. The sun disappeared, and the moon took its place. The stands slowly filled with people eating and talking. As half time drew near, the homecoming princesses grew tense. Both sides had completed their perfor- mances, and the band formed the traditional TJ and the Hussars their heart. Then the tension mounted as the band began playing Friends. The princesses were introduced. First to be recognized was Kris Chirafis - 12, Leigh-An Guidry - 12, DeEdria McDaniel - 12, han- non Moore - 12, Vanessa Quintela - 12, and last but not least Gretchen Vaughan - 12. The silence was at an overwhelming high as the name Vanessa Quintela was called, the crowd roared as our '86-'87 queen was crown- ed, Vanessa after being crowned, through an ear to ear smile stated, l was excited and sur- prised. l felt that it was an honor being crown- ed, because my sister was also homecoming queen. The night came to an end and the crowd departed. However, the night was not over. There was still a victory over Nederland to be celebrated at the dance. Some arrived at the cafeteria, took pictures and left, but many also stayed. Kathy Salvagio - 10 said, Alter the game I went to the dance, I had a lot of fun. The activities came to an end and so did the night as the dance rounded out the evening. - Laurie Porras PLEASE DON'T LET THIS CROWN FALL OFF - Queen Vanessa Quintela - 12 covers up her wor- ries about the loose crown with a beautiful smile and some roses.
