Homecoming Homecoming was the most exciting part of football season. For weeks in advance, girls were on their best behavior in hopes of a date for this special game. When Homecoming week finally rolled around, the entire student body came down with football fever. The Student Council sponsored a hall-decorating contest which was won by the Volleyball Team and the Keywannettes came in second. The week was climaxed by a special pep rally not only for the team, but also for the Exes in which the Classes of ’59 and ’69 were honored. Each class nominated a Senior Girl to be their nominee for Homecoming Queen. The Seniors chose Teresa Dyer, the Juniors nominated Lisa McDonald, Karen Raines was the Sophomore choice, and Brenda Stephenson was picked by the Freshmen. Another big event was the Float competition. The four classes put their best carpentry and originality to work to make the most colorful professionally constructed float ever. The theme was the four seasons. The Seniors’ float featured a Little Red School House representing Fall, the Juniors depicted Spring with a tree swing by a pond, the Sophomores did a beautiful mountain scene showing a white Christmas, and finally, the Freshmen made a surfer out of our mascot showing their idea of Summer. At halftime came the big announcement - the Sophomore float came in second, and the Senior won first place. And Miss Teresa Dyer was chosen as the 1976-77 Homecoming Queen. The football team showed its appreciation for the school’s enthusiasm by drilling the Castleberry Lions for a perfect ending to a great week. cheerleaders always do their part to psyche up the team. Mascot Karen Raines does the Bulldog clap. The Royal Majestics proudly march off the field. Activities 17

People have noticed and wondered why the girls on the Volleyball team are almost always seen together. The reason is simple: when people play on the same team and work so hard for one single goal, a certain feeling of togetherness is achieved that just isn’t accessible under normal conditions. These girls have the same interests, they like doing things together, and it usually turns out to be just a little bit crazy. And when their hopes and dreams aren’t realized, then there is always someone around who has almost identical feelings to turn to. Friendship like these are hard to find and to see them it assures one that these girls’ will remain friends even after they graduate and go on with the business of life. Activities 19
