Homecominez 6 zrand tradition As the band played 'iDan't Cry Out Loud, the eight womecoming nominees were escorted on the field in the Jsual manner -- by their lathers. The traditional Owls stead was formed by the band, Debs and Gold Jackets. The stage was set for the an- woufncement of the 1981 womecoming queen - Shan- won Jones. Circling the field in in 'he traditional manner, Shan- non waved to the cheering zrowd. The car used for the ceremonies was donated by choir director Johnny Bragg. Everything went according to tradition or at least almost everything. Instead of playing South Garland or North Mes- quite as it has been in the past, Lakeview was the competition for the Oct. 23 game. Also, because of the time restriction placed on the halftime ac- tivities, the ceremonies were held during pregame with the queen taking a second drive around the field at halftime. The FFA sweetheart, usually an- nounced at the homecoming game, was postponed until the last game of the season. ln addition to the changes, the exes were invited to attend both the victory dance follow- ing the game and the Corona- tion Ball, Though minor changes were made, homecoming re- mained the grand and tradi- tional affair that it has always been and the Owls came away with a victory over the Patriots. .t P 1-- Ni L As their name is called. the nominees, escorted by their fathers, take their place on the field. The nominees pic- tured are Renee Runnels, Patricia Mc- Commas and Annette Grizzle. The surprise of the moment stuns Shan- non Jones as those around her after their congratulations.
