f » Throughout your senior year in high school, there are many events which tal e place that will always be remembered — pep rallies, ball games, Jr.-Sr. Prom, class trip, gradu- ation . . . just to name a few. The most memorable event for the class of ' 82 was homecoming. Homecoming week began promising lovely, dry weather for all the home- coming festivities. With much hurry and flurry, many seniors worked at the armory on the homecoming float for the parade. The excitement grew and grew as homecoming day approached. The unusual happenings began at the Thursday pep rally. This pep rally proved to be the most spirited ever. During the pep rally, disc jockey ' s from Q- 104 in Gadsden presented the Redskins with the ' Team-Of-The- Week ' trophy. Traditionally, at the homecoming pep rally, the seniors win class competition; the juniors won. This didn ' t go over very well with the senior class. The seniors began shout- ing ' We ate at Jack ' s. ' Underclassmen were confused by this remark, but the seniors knew exactly what it meant. The originators of this remark were Da- vid Denney, Jeff Jones, Jimmy Regis- ter, and David Shumate. The town of Oneonta first heard ' We ate at Jack ' s ' the night before the pa- rade. A bunch of the seniors did eat at Jack ' s that night. For no reason at all they just started saying ' We ate at Jack ' s. ' This remark derived its mean- ing from the pep rally Thursday. Being disappointed by not winning class competition, the seniors shouted the saying throughout the gym. The origi- nators of this remark told the rest of the seniors that they did eat at Jack ' s the night before and the food gave them indigestion, preventing the sen- iors from yelling as loud as they could during class competition. On parade day, the seniors marched in the rain to get their beautiful float in the lineup to be judged. The float was decorated with big, red and white tis- sue flowers covering the sides and a huge football helmet placed in front of a goal post on a green turf football field. Miss Homecoming, Beth Tidwell rode in the helmet under the banner reading ' The Ultimate Breakthrough in ' 82. ' There was also a banner on the back of the float reading ' We ate at Jack ' s, ' with a Jack ' s cup beside it. It was sad to see the rain pouring down, and the red and white flowers flowing down the streets on one of the most important days of your senior year. 156 Seniors
