HOMECOMING ’85 Victorado Seniors Capture Spirit Stick “We did it!” cheered a triumphant senior. “We finally won the spirit stick!” “Victorado” accompanied the seniors as well as the Black Attack the night of Homecoming. Homecoming ’85 started early in the week with the Powderpuff Football games won by the senior and sophomore girls. Murals depicting a Western theme were entered by each class in competition for the spirit stick. Throughout the week there were dress-up days, with Friday being black and gold day. Class spirit came out during Fun and Games Friday afternoon. In its second year, the bat race turned out to be the most popular again. A faculty team of ten, including that expert on bat racing, Mr. Roberts, challenged the winning senior team. However, it turned out to be no match for the seniors. Cowboys and Indians ran wild through the streets of Winchester before the game on Friday night, as the traditional Homecoming Parade proceeded through town to the football field. Novel float entries, such as the seniors’ covered wagon drawn by work horses, embellished the parade route. The cars carrying the queen candidates and princesses also added a touch of beauty. Following the parade, the battle began — the Black Attack vs. arch rival. Union City. Victorado was an appropriate theme, as the Falcons scalped the Indians 20-14. Starting quarterback Bill Davis said, “Beating Union City, our biggest rival, the night of Homecoming was probably the best thing that happened all year.” During half-time, the seniors were announced the winners of the spirit stick. Realizing that it was their last Homecoming, the class of ’86 pulled together to win. Reigning over Homecoming was senior queen Angela Huffman who said, “I couldn’t believe it! It was great! I think I shook for about two hours!” Her court included seniors Amy Detro and Melissa Phenis. Underclassmen princesses were junior, Krista Campbell; sophomore, Shannon Hartley; and freshman, Karen Hibbard. The victory was celebrated at the Homecoming Dance which concluded Victorado ’85. by Jane Zell ABOVE: Shawnda Croylc passes to Andy Hush during Fun and Games.
