Attendants were Seniors Veronica Blakeney and Carol Barbour, Juniors Kimberley Burden and Felicia Foster, Sophomores Kellye Curtis and Janet Vessels, and Freshmen Alicia Edmonds and Kisha Braithwaite.

After the Homecoming court had their formal picture taken with Mr. Gant, the Crabbers went on to win the game against the Lafayette Rams 33-3. When the game had ended, the Homecoming Dance went into effect in the school ' s cafeteria. It lasted from 9 P.M. until 1 A.M. The entire day was a moment to remember.

Mr. Blelloch, Suzi Walker, and Bobby McTag- gart put on several skits to edge the spirit of the events yet to come.

Students auditioned for parts, sang, played, and danced their way into the hearts of many Crabbers. Whether it was the band, chorus, or even the drama club they demonstrated their skill in whatever they did. The A ' Capella Choir gave a Christmas Concert in December to start out their year. Throughout the year, the Choir sang at in¬ ductions for various honor societies and entered singing competition. Many members were accepted into All-City Chorus, and the whole group entered a competition in which they received a su¬ perior rating of 1.5. The Ensemble members, on the other hand, sang and danced across the stage showing their elite talent. The group was invited and performed at the Coliseum Mall. The band was just as active. They graced the auditorium with Christmas and Spring concerts and ended the year by playing at the graduation ceremony. Throughout the year, however, the marching band played in various parades, including the Phoebus Day Parade and the Homecoming Parade. Displaying their awesome style and skill at pep rallies and football games as well as many competitions was not uncommon for the Marching Crabbers. The field show which they provided was rivaled by many. The Drama Department too was one filled with talent. Although only one play was produced, this difficult but exciting musical remained in the hearts of all who saw it. The Fantasticks was a treat enjoyed by everyone, from the student body to parents and friends. This was a difficult musical to produce; consequently, much time and effort were put into its final presentation. From the stage to the field, nowhere was there seen such a fine group of talented students who worked to entertain. They had fun doing it, and the rest of us had fun watching and listening. Seniors Brian Biackburn and Robbie Odom practice for the soon to be presented play. Encore!!
