Hawaiian Holidays '86 Aloha! Hawaiian Holidays was the 1986 homecoming theme. The week was filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of barbecued pork chops, crisp Autumn nights, crackling bonfires, and cheering crowds. The Luau was a big success. Rocked by the sounds of Karizma, the dance goers enjoyed fresh pineapple, juicy watermelon and other Ha- waiian snacks. Homecoming Week festivities started off with dress up days, sponsored by the Student Council. Tuesday was Hawaiian Day” marked by brightly colored clothes. On Wednesday stu- dents wore their vacation T-shirts; it seemed as if every state w'ere represented. Thursday was con- cert T-shirt day; students wore T-shirts of their favorite bands. The groups ranged from Ala- bama to AC DC. On Friday students expressed their school spirit by adorning themselves with Red and Gold.
