The Falcon Has Landed Homecoming week started off with the announce- ment of five straight wear-what-you-want-to days, and got better and better. Everyone sacrificed a tie- free and skirt-free day to pose for one of the pictures on pages 26 and 27. Other festivities included skit night Cwith performances which ranged from sev- enth graders' reactions to candy to irreverent imita- tions of lvlr. Gorey and Mr. Fargasonj, the bontire, and, of course, the Friday night win over Ragland. The victory set the mood for the big finishes to the week, the Homecoming dance Cwhere ninth through twelfth graders danced to the music of Ftuckus in the cafetoriumb, and the Seventh and Eighth Grade disco party in the gym.

Though Donoho jumped out to a quick 20-O lead in the first half, and Bryan Jackson opened the second half with an electrifying 90-yard touch- down kickoff return, the Silent War- riors hung tough and made the Fal- cons fight for a 42-26 win. ln the last regular-season game, David Morgan led the offensive charge against Spring Garden with a 92-yard touchdown scamper Clongest TD of the yearb in the first quarter. The season's finale came against the speedy Wadley Bull- dogs in the first round of the state playoffs. The fired up Bulldogs were the best team of the night, and turned the game into a runaway. Finally, five seniors - Bryan Jackson, David Morgan, Tom Moore, Jeff Monroe, and Wes Smith - received honorable mention in the All-County voting to cap off a season in which the Falcons went undefeated in the regular season and made the trip to the playoffs, both unprecedented events in our football history.
