Senior Sponsors And Attendants Homecoming is a special time of the year. Queens chosen, floats built, and pre-game activities practiced. GCHS has an unique way of chosing its queen. Senior football players escort the girl of their choice, in grades ten through twelve, on the field Friday night. All Senior girls asked on the field are eligible for Homecoming Queen. The other girls are eligible for attendant in their respective grades. The student body, grades ten through twelve, votes on the girls for queen and attendants. The votes are counted secretly, so no one knows the results until they are announced. Junior High, Middle School, and Elementary School attendants are chosen the week before Homecoming. Mary Carol Black sponsored by Jeff Smith. 28 Susan Capron sponsored by Hank Birdsong.

Varsity Cheerleaders Cheerleaders-the loudest girls in school. That may be true, but only because they yell for the Bulldogs. Every May, girls compete for a position on the GCHS cheerleader squad. The student body votes for eight girls, and they become our varsity cheerleaders. The 1978-79 cheerleaders, with the help of their sponsor Norma Galloway, have worked extremely hard to make the football and basketball seasons a success. During the summer they attended a USCA Cheerleader Clinic at the University of West Florida to learn new yells and stunts. While there, they received five ribbons and a special plaque for their performance. Lisa Peters and Deborah Outlaw earned a Top Ten Cheerleader plaque. Upon returning home they began working on pom-pom and glove routines for the pep rallies. With the help of David Blakeney, the cheerleaders and others made signs for the football games. As school began the cheerleaders made spirit badges, made up skits, and organized pep rallies and bonfires. Every Friday night, one could find them on the sidelines yelling for the Bulldogs. Whether winning or losing, these cheerleaders kept the Bulldog's spirit high during the year. Felicia Seay, Donna Davis, and Twanna Dawson portray yellow jackets during a pep rally. 1978-79 Varsity Cheerleaders: Mary Jordan, Donna Davis, Felicia Seay. Laura Sorrells, Sandra Butler, Twanna Dawson. Lisa Peters, and Deborah Outlaw. 30 THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY DONNELL HARDWARE
