All decked out and ready for action are Seniors Brad Hollowav. Dave Helms. Dave Hershey. Todd Young and Junior Joe Tincher. The five boys are instrumentalists with the Swing Choir perform- ance group. Portable melodies keep Senior Greg Stewart occu- pied during the annual Homecoming Spirit games out on the football field on Sept. 28. 10 LIFE DIVISION There ' s not enough time! ...A common complaint of over-active, on-the-go Yorktown students. Many students feel each day is stuffed full of activities as students make it through seven hours of the academics, only to be guided by additional hours of athletic practice until you can ' t sweat anymore. When I ' m out of school, I spend most of my extra time in sports, claims Sophomore Swimmer Cathy Bryja. I spent 50% of my time at school, added Senior Mika Lindholm, the other 50% I sleep. Most of my time is spent at school, but I don ' t mind because it gives you something to do and you get to see your friends more often, commented Junior Jeff Myers. Super-achiever Senior Mike Worley boasts, 4- 5 hours of sleep a night. Why? Because I ' m so busy! Mike said. There ' s the play and track and FCA and school and newspaper.... Activities were in surplus this year as students could get crazy at Homecoming, get creative with numerous school plays and music productions, get relaxed with the unofficial Senior trip to Daytona Beach on Spring Break or get graduated at the May 24 ceremony at Emen ' s Auditorium. Searching a pan of flour for a lifesaver to score more points for the class of ' 85 are Seniors Amy Garrett and Tammy Cooper. Figures for graphs were taken from polls given to approxi- mately 200 students in January of ' 85, regarding the amount of time they spend in different activities during the week.

As fans gathered in the frigid air at Yorktown ' s first evening homecoming game, our players proved they were... For the gold t ' s a time for alum- ni gatherings, ner- vous queen can- didates and float buildings and burn- ings. Yes, it ' s Home- mmmmagmt coming. Homecoming, September 29, came with a twist this year as the football game was in the evening to allow the band to compete at district that afternoon and also perform at half-time. I thought it was a refreshing change. (Homecoming at night) It was neat because everyone got fired up all day and thought about the game, was the opinion of Junior Lisa Valos. But day or night, the varsity football players proved they could prevail over the Winchester Golden Falcons, winning 21-0. The week pre- ceding the big game was, as in the past, filled with late night float buildings, dress-up days and spirit games. The senior class was awarded the spirit stick at the end of the week. Some of the senior girls went out of their way to sup- port the senior players and get them fired up for the big game by decorat- ing senior players ' lockers with bal- loons and signs, and by putting up signs in the hallway. We did this to show the senior guys we wished them lots of luck, id we wanted them to know we were behind them 100%, com- mented Senior Cris Geiger. Saturday morning parade down Highway 32 proved success- Colleen Riggs Vince Cascella ful for the Art Club, Kallida, that earned first place in the float com- petition with a nine-foot replica of a Tiger football player. Kallida members worked only two weeks on the final product, including many ■ after school and late night sessions. Kallida spon- sor Marilyn Trip- lett confirmed that she had come up with the basic idea but Kallida stu- dents, using their artistic and creative abili- ties, added the finishing touches. The float winners, along with the Homecoming Queen were announced at half-time. Senior Jennifer Bar- rick was the winner, escorted by Senior sweetheart Dane Carpenter. Preparing for the parade and half-time is an exciting time for all candidates and Jennifer wasn ' t any different. I went shopping and I bought a fuschia colored hat and sweater. When I went to find my car for the parade, I found out it was orange! It was awful, she said. At half-time, however, Jennifer had her big moment. She exclaimed, I was very excited when I heard my name because I ' ve never been selected for anything like it before. Barrick ' s court consisted of Junior Anderia Gough, Sophomore Cathy Bryja and Freshman Sheri Todd. Wrapping up the week ' s festivities at the spirit games is Junior Chantelle Hadley with Coach John Fullenkamp. Tiger quarterback Greg Applegate em- cees the game, and Sophomore Amber Burress puts the finishing touches on her class float. 12 HCMECOM1SG
