loATs, 'sMissAls, E. C mmq All the preparation was finally over. Hours spent stuffing chicken wire with kleenex in hopes of Branding the Bulldog and pillaging houses, cars, dogs, cats, and neighbors of rival classes ran out as Home- coming morning dawned. All that was left to do was place a few finishing touches on floats, sleepwalk through the first two class periods, scream at the pep rally, weep, try to get a dismissal, weep some more, and finally just leave school. The sophomores stole the show by having their float arrive via police escort. After a brief respite, the evening activities got under way with the announcement that juniors had won the float contest. Following a spe- cial halftime show presented by the band and Misses, the '78 Homecoming Court was presented. The 1977 Queen, Sheila Dobson, stood on tiptoes to crown Gwen Miller to reign over the 1978 festivities. Victory was apparent as at the game's end, the scoreboard read Murrah -- 20g Green- wood - 14. The traditional homecoming dance was held in a non-traditional place -- the Northside YMCA. There, the scoreboard once again told of the Home- coming victory. 22fHomecoming Maids and escorts of the 1978 Homecoming Court include: Sophomores Jodi Marks and Jeff Ratliff, Juniors Debbie Berman and Ricky Denson, Seniors Tonya Thomas and Allen Phares, Queen Gwen Miller and Car- neal Chambliss, Carney Stevens and Boty McDonald, Winkie Lockhart and Robert Smith, Juniors Evelyn Hatchett and Ronnie Ashford, and Sophomores Sandra Tillman and Jonathan Battle.
