It has generally been accepted that the freshman float, or display as it became this year, will never make it past fourth place. Except for an amazing second place fin- ish in 1 979 this has been an accu- rate assumption. The Freshman class of 79-80 can be proud to carry on the tradition. They hon- estly put up a good fight by pro- ducing one of the best freshman displays in PVHS history. There is something unusual about the class of 82 . It holds an uncanny ability to build cre- ative, effective floats and dis- plays. The same class that made the unbelievable second place finish in 1 979 took first in 1 980. Just as the sophomore class of 80 is capable of making super floats, the class of 81 cannot seem to build a winning float. As Freshmen, sophomores, and now juniors they have finished fourt h, fourth, and third, respectively. Such poor luck is despite unique ideas and some individually cre- ative members. The class of 80 finished out its high school years with its best finish ever — second. It becomes only the second senior class at Pinson Valley to not take first. Many seniors feel their display of 1980 was their second best effort to the float of 1978 which could only manage third.

Homecoming: What Will You Remember? ■ I What do you, as a member of a class, remember most about Homecoming ' ' Was it the fact that you were a sen- ior and that this was your last year, your last Homecom- ing? Or were you a junior who had worked day and night on the display, only to receive third place? Possi- bly, you were a sophomore who will always remember the elation felt when your class won the display competition And the freshman — were you amazed at all the festivi- ties that went on during Homecoming week? What event do you recall most vividly of the week? Was it the unusual clothing worn throughout the week to show spirit — the crazy sock day , red and gold day , or hat and sign day ' ' Perhaps it was the largest and most exciting pep rally of the year, complete with flowers tears and the usual cheers Could the parade that journeyed through Pinson be the most memorable event to you ' ' Quite possibly the Homecoming Queen and her court are what you remember This years court consisted of fresh- man Judy Flowers, escorted by Clint Nail, sophomores Lisa Frongillo. escorted by Earl Jackson, and Shari Sims, escorted by Jason Little; juniors Pam Henderson, Jeanni Barnett and Lauri McGahey, escorted by Joey Maryanow. Rusty Wynn and David Kelly, respectively; and seniors Lisa IVIcKee, Grace Baptista, Valerie Prewitt, Gina Fron- gillo and Teri Dunn, escorted by Robbie Roberts. David Demsky, Terrence Davis, Steve Adams and Bill Chiles, in that order. Gina Frongillo was elected by the student body as Homecoming Queen Will your recollections of the Homecoming day be a blur, due to a definite lack of sleep because you worked on a display all night Thursday? Was the pep rally, where everyone truly jumped, shouted and knocked them- selves out , fatal to you? Will you remember that the sen- ior class won that pep rally? The colorful parade, were you in it? Did you work on a car that was in if Will you remember who did what or won what, and you may not even care But. more than likely, you will remember the important things — the joy. the sorrow, the emotion filled pep rally and your big date after the game. Will you remember all the excitement; the fact that the weather was perfect and the game was not so perfect? Qr. will you care, because going parking afterward was much more fun anyway ! You will probably reminisce about getting ready buying that all important new outfit and getting a new haircut all for Homecoming night Will you remember all the details, or will you just remember that you were a part of It all?
