A DAY OF FUN Even after forty Homecomings, each year seems to get better and this year was no exception. All the students were really up for this, our Fortieth Home- coming. They showed their spirit all throughout Home- coming week. Monday was “hat and bandana day.” Tuesday was “sock and ten- nis shoe day.” Wednesday everyone dressed up in his tackiest tie. Thursday each class wore its class colors, and Friday was “green and white day.” On Friday stu- dents did their best to keep up the forty-year-old tradi- tion of having a day of si- lence. The culmination of the week's events was Friday's pep rally. As is the tradition, class games were played. Such games as a tricycle race, spin around the baseball bat, and find the ping pong ball got the crowd roaring with laughter. The cheerleaders kept the spirit going with many rousing cheers. All in all, a good time was had by all, from little Freshmen to the exultant Seniors. The Seniors concluded the festiv- ities by winning the spirit contest, but it was a close race!

Bottom right: Radio personality Cat- fish Hunter displays the beautiful “Team of the Week trophy. We had finally done it! John Carroll won its first football game after losing thirty-six games straight. We had won and then we were rewarded. We were “Team of the Week” for 1-95, Kicks 106, and WBRC Channel 6. At the pep rally, we received three different trophies and were visited by Kicks 106’s Catfish Hunter and 1-95’s Danny Wright and Jimbo Wood, among others. Every- one was very excited and rowdy, but we calmed down enough to listen to the speak- ers and, of course, to receive our trophies. Both radio sta- tions brought t-shirts and various other things to give to us students. Some got so thrilled with the idea of free t-shirts that they stampeded the floor in order to get one, and it took some time to get these t-shirt-hungry kids back in control. The pep rally en- ded with a cheer and with a hope that we would win the next game. Yes, the football team made the whole school proud when we were made “Team of the Week” on September 25, 1987 . It was a day that will live on forever! 23
