Homecoming was one of the most celebrated events in high school, and 1984 was no exception. Festivities began with the many weeks of planning and creating the class floats. The parade was held on its usual route through town, ending at the senior high. Along with the class floats in the parade, there were various organizations represented, such as S.I.U. and the T.C. Poms. The candidates for king and queen also found themselves among a bunch of enthusiastic students in the Homecoming Parade. When the parade reached its destination, the traditional bonfire was held to burn the Bucs and create more energy for the Trojan victory- The announcing of king and queen was done a bit differently this year. Instead of having the winners announced at the Homecoming Pep-assembly, they were named after the game on Thirlby Field. After the Trojans Iced The Bucs, Marcel Danet and Colleen Gauthier were announced as reigning king and queen for 1984, and they marched through the fanfare of the band and an aisle of flags. One question remained though: Marcel, was that jersey number planned, or are we supposed to believe that 84 is just a coincidence?
