But then of course, everyone in Vestaburg looks sharp. Friday (Red and White Day) Everyone was dressed in the tradi- tional red and white colors; some had even painted their faces red and white. The Queen's Assembly second hour gave us a chance to view the queen candidates and to decide for whom to vote. It also allowed us to hear Grand Marshall Jim Hodges speak. The as- sembly ended with Mark Anna being crowned the first homecoming king. Dan Hernandez, Brent Bissell, Mark Anna, Shawn Jenison, and James Wojtowicz stood nervously in front of the student body. Each king candidate was given a flower and the one who received a red carnation was crowned king.

Another popular century was that of the early Romans. Toga wrapped figures, Kerri Barr, Lisa Fleming, James Wojtowicz, Kamie Otto, Lisa West, and Sharon Tugan roamed the halls, but because of the twentieth century dress codes, these Vestaburg Romans were forced to put on more clothing to avoid indecent exposure. Wednesday (Hat, Sunglasses, and Buttons Day) Deeper into our saga, students came back to the future but once again were found in disguise. This time buttons cluttered the hallways and although it was gray and rainy, most kids wore sunglasses. Many heads were adorned with Donald Duck, Tiger, and dog hats.

Tragedy struck during the pep as- sembly 6th hour when Mr. Steinkraus announced that due to rain the parade had to be cancelled. This sent many float committee members into a frenzy to get their floats out of the rain. The rain carried into the game that night. Despite this, the floats and homecoming court made their way onto the field for halftime. First place for the float competition went to the jr. high's Cinderella float; the freshman class float 'All the Right Moves' was awarded second, and the sophomores' From Russia With Love float re- ceived third. Karen King was then crowned the 1985 homecoming queen. When the speaker announced '1985 homecoming queen, Karen King,' I turned to my mom and said, 'What did they say?' commented King. The next week when I got to school, I just wanted to be plain old Karen again. The Wolverines fought a hard battle against the Saranac Redskins, but be- cause they had two touchdowns called back for penalties, the score at the end of the game stood 3-0 in Saranac's fa- vor. In spite of this, homecoming turned out to be a fun-filled week. begin reign in the rain Put on your thinking caps!
