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

Replacing the flannel shirt, bibs and straw hats at the Sadie Hawkins dance were pullover sweaters, parachute pants and leather ties... Sadies. The Dance where the tables are turned and the girl gets a taste of what is ' s like to be the de- cision-maker on a date. She also may find out what rejection feels like. I asked some- one from a different school, so I was nervous that he wouldn ' t want to go to another school for a dance. It ended up that he was happy to go and we had fun, stated Junior Maria Godwin. Those 160 girls who found a date to the November 10 dance were welcomed by Mrs. Karen Brammer and her husband. Once inside, the couples danced in a mel- low, easygoing atmosphere of music and flashing lights, provided by Electric Dance Company. I thought the music was good, but they could ' ve used more videos, was the opinion of Sophomore Brett Brown. Taking a breather, couples cooled off with fruit punch or cider dipped from a tin cup and ate coo- kies. Pairs sat along the student center to escape the heat generated from wild people dancing in the cafe, to get off of their feet, or to find out who had brought whom. After couples had time to get their pictures taken, the Corn King award- winner was an- nounced. With last year being no different than thi;- year, Junior Dan Flynn was the ; was glad to have won, especially when you ' re up against seniors, who usually win, Flynn said. Mark Hill Another common sight on this night was couples walking down the white paper-covered aisles to get hitched bv Marrvin ' Sams Athletic Director Bob Harrold and Principal Jerome Secttor. In their dignified hillbilly hats and robes, they collected the sacred vows by the bride and groom. It was fun pre- tending to get married to Eddie, (Clevenger) but I ' m not quite ready for the real thing yet! commented Senior Candy Fogle. In the last couple of years, fashion at the Sadies dance has changed from the trad- itional flannel, □ overalls and straw hats, to striped and plaid button downs, fashion- able pullover sweaters, leather ties, and of course jeans. Trying to get a grip on the fashion scene were Seniors Pam Fullenwider and Jimmy Winkle who wore matching mini-skirts. Pam and I were out looking for shirts and we saw mini-skirts. I joked around and said we ought to wear them. After that, she got two to- gether and I told her we were going to wear them. It was just something crazy and different to do, Winkle laughed. Senior Alissa Ziegler com- mented about Winkle ' s choice of dress, It was funny. It didn ' t sur- prise me at all, because Jimmy ' s always doing things like that!
