Volleyball, ping pong, spook night, and a spe- cial Campus Life meeting row- died us Trojans all the more, especially after special days like 60 ' s day, mask day, lick ' em and hoedown day The entire week ' s activities were brought to a peak during Friday ' s pep session. Leading the parade procession was Grand Marshall head custo- dian Walt Hardiek. This was definitely a year of broken traditions. For the first time, the Homecoming parade was in the boys ' gym, and also for the first time in EHS ' s history, the seniors lost the float competition — boy, did the freshmen ever humble the seniors!

Homecoming! Sure the Archers Aggravated, But the Trojans Were the Proud! Tammie Waggoner 1 979 Homecoming Queen Very excited, unexpected and the ultimate were just a couple of words Tammie Wag- goner used to sum up her feelings on Homecoming night after she was crowned queen. Tammie commented that since it was her senior year — her last year — it really meant a lot that she was voted to be on the court. She really didn ' t expect to be crowned but even still she said she had been attacked by the worst case of butterflies she ' d ever experienced. I was on the highest mountain in the world, and I never thought I ' d come down! For Tammie, Homecoming night was one of the best nights in her life and who says she has to come down from that mountain anyway?!! RETURNING WITH A new crown, last year ' s Homecoming Queen Lisa Wil- liams crowns the happy and smiling senior Tammie Waggoner. Homecoming night was finally here. The cold nights spent building floats, the busy days during the week. The best pep session a school could ever have. It had been a lot of work and a real blast but now it was HOMECOMING Night — the seniors ' last one. Everyone could feel the ten- sion building with the ques- tions, Who ' ll be queen? Would it be Laura Lewis or Denise Richey? Or, would Sharon Kelly or Tammie Wag- goner or Rose Poitras receive the crown? Tonight was a night of vic- tory and also a night of defeat. Tammie was crowned the 1979 Homecoming queen, but the Archers won. For Tammie, Homecoming was an event she ' ll always remember, and for the team, we ' ll say, We are the Proud, WE ARE THE TROJANS! ALONG WITH THE seniors ' sign, the fans, made up of relatives and the stu- dent body, show their support for the team and also for the court memt)ers.
