Queen of the crop Spirits were high as Spartan fans anxiously awaited the announcement of the Homecoming Court at the pre- game show at the Bryan Adams game. Members of the court were escorted on the field by their fathers. Then the 1985 Homecoming Queen, Bridget Donahue, crowned Cynthia Espinoza, the 1986 Homecoming Queen, to the roar of the crowd. The queen and her court were also presented at the Homecoming Dance which was held at the Holiday Inn in Garland on the following night. This gave those students who missed the pre-game show a chance to get a good look at the queen and her court. Cynthia Espinoza said, l was ex- cited and overjoyed because I did not expect to be elected queen, especially with the others that were nominated. Adriane james said, lt was a lot of fun, and even though I did not win, l was proud of myself for making court. lt made my senior year special. Each class chose two represen- tatives for the Homecoming Court, except the senior class, who chose five representatives. The top three seniors were on the court and the one with the most votes became Homecoming Queen.
