12 Students, Parade Go Hawaiian Any stranger who came to Valdosta on the afternoon of October 18, would have thought he had made a wrong turn and ended up in the islands of Hawaii. Actually he would have been witness to Valdosta High's 1985 Homecoming parade which centered around the theme Wildcats Go Hawaiian. Under the direction of the Stu- dent Council, the parade began at 4:00 p.m. Students from clubs, groups, and all organizations participated. They dressed in grass skirts, flowered clofhing, and wore leis around fheir necks. An occasional bare foot could be seen marching down the pa- rade path to the sounds of tropi- cal music. Competition between the classes to win first prize for their float was evident. After working every night for a week prior to the parade, the junior class took the honor.

Victory Eludes Wildcats Photo by Gainer Walter Homecoming preparations and excitement had reached a fever pitch by Friday afternoon's parade. Unfortunately the fever had cooled by game time. The Wildcats were not able to come from behind to defeat the Colquitt County Packers. The 21 to 14 loss also ended a twenty- two game winning streak for the Wildcats. Salena McCray's coronation as homecoming queen provided the only happy moment of the night. Saturday's dance ended the week on a happier note. Zeal provided the music.
