Tradition renewed Spirit Week, parade highlight week! During a year in high school there are many exciting activities and unforgettable times, and, of these events, homecoming is one of the most memorable. Spirit Week began the Homecoming festivities. Monday was Surfer Day, followed on Tues- day by Rambo Day. Wednesday everyone went a bit weird for Hair Day. Thursday was Nerd Day, and Friday was the traditional Blue and White Day. At the bonfire Thursday evening, the pep band played some charges, and the cheerleaders led the crowd in some cheers. New to Homecoming this year was the parade which was held Friday afternoon at 2 P.M. The band led the parade, fol- lowed by the cheer- leaders. Included was a float from each class. The queen candidates were driven in converti- bles. The juniors' float, “Wash Up the Char- gers, took first prize, and the freshman float, The Chargers' Last Ride, came in second. Craig Grable was cho- sen Mr. Legs at the pep rally which fol- lowed the parade. The Homecoming cere- mony was held before the game Friday, Octo- ber 10. The queen candi- dates were brought onto the field in convertibles. Sheena Smith was crowned queen, and J.G. Koehler was chosen head escort. Her court consisted of Tammy Benitz, Julie Koehler, Shelbe Theis, and An- nette Whetstine. Their escorts were Mike Goss, Craig Grable, Mike Jamvold, and Robert Si- grist. The crown and gift bearers for the ceremo- ny were Nathan Geiger, Clint Peden, Alicia Ben- itz, and Christen Kin- sey. Following the game, stu- dents and alumni were invited to a dance spon- sored by the student council. The theme was Earth Angel, and the music was provided by Magic Mobile Sound. The pep club decorated the gym for the dance, using clouds and angel halos. When asked what thought of her first Homecoming dance, Sendie Smith replied, I thought it was a good dance, but I wish more people would have gotten involved. Although time passes quickly and much is forgotten, no one will forget our Earth Angel, for she remains lost, somewhere in the blue. she HOMECOMING candi- dates and their escorts are C. Grable and J.
