PRAIRIE Unites for Homecoming Week The week of September 19 - 23 held a lot in store for everyone at PHS. The festivities began with a salute to the farmers. Overalls, flannel shirts, and bandannas brightened the fashion scene. On Tuesday the fashion world was turned inside out . . . or rather the fashions were, as wearing clothes inside out was the theme. Wednesday was a school day for teachers only, so we devoted our time to the building of floats. Characters from film and fiction invaded the campus on Thursday. In the afternoon, several guys found out how difficult it is to be a girl as they experienced wrinkled pantyhose and smudged lipstick in the beauty contest. The cheerleaders presented a history of cheerleaders. Some of the football players got creamed as they participated in the pie eating contest. Friday the halls were ablaze with Prairie spirit. This enthusiasm was shown by the wearing of orange and black clothing, homecoming buttons, and mums. The annual parade included football players, cheerleaders, the high school band, and numerous floats. King and queen candidates were: Brad Britcher and Laura Lee Banes, Mark Calkins and Darcy Butcher, Scott Hamilton and Becky Exline, Randy Hulbert and Wendy Gorkow, Tom Kemmerer and Marcia Jensen, and Mike Parsons and Karen Waldrep. The highlight of the week came as the fighting Hawks defeated the Benton Bobcats 18-0. The celebration ended with the Homecoming Victory Dance. Is George Storm here to construct or converse? t "What's up Doc?" wonders Valerie Bowman.
