On October 31, the Queen and her court were presented to the student body by the football players in an afternoon assembly, and by their fathers that evening before the game between Perry- ville and Hackett. PHS students and teachers prepared for the big game throughout the week by par- ticipating in Spirit Week, spon- sored by the cheerleaders. Even “Dolly Parton” and Olive Oil” were caught-up in the excitement of Homecoming Spirit Week on Star Day, when students and teachers came dressed as famous stars. PHS students also came to school dressed as little kids, twins, in “50’s style, and in maroon and gray. Mustang fans participated in a big pep-rally on the night before the game. The bon-fire was lit by Mr. and Miss Spirit, David Mitchell and Terri ]o Weaver. A parade around the town followed. After the victory over Hackett 33-0, the students enjoyed a Homecoming dance sponsored by the junior class. 19

Brandon Crowned Queen With a wind-chill factor of less than 20 degrees, Dougthia (Doug) Brandon swaggered across the field in a dress and bobby socks which revealed his obvious bow legs to be crowned queen of the second annual Powder Puff football game. The main event of the evening was the presentation of the royalty. Football players were chosen as cheerleaders and maids. Fans just loved Chip Greenwood’s “Loretta Lynn hair-do and Tommy Fallen's long underwear that kept falling. The cold temperatures did not affect the hot rivalry of the two tag football teams. After a strategic effort, the odd team (girls in grades 11, 9, 7) was defeated by the even team (grades 12,10, 8) by a score of 20-14. While all this was going on, cheerleader David Mitchell, as Dolly Parton, climbed atop the goal post. Another antic was performed when cheerleader Kenny Womack received a pass from another cheerleader, John Hyatt, and ran for a touchdown for the odd team. Master of ceremonies Paul Hunt combined skills of both Bert Parks and Howard Cosell as he described the Powder Puff court and the football game. ABOVE: Solemnly escorted by Jeannie Keeter was seventh grade maid Chris Branscum. RIGHT: Long blonde curls graced eighth grade maid Ricky Hoyt’s head at the Powder Puff ceremonies. He was escorted by Debbie Cripps. 20
