into almost a full hour, something that became almost unheard of this year. The tradition continued when it was announced at the rally that the Juniors had again won the class display and the Seniors had taken the hall display award With their Plastered Panther. The Homecoming Court was an- nounced at the Pep Rally, also. The Senior representatives were: Rene Rutherford, Holly Hoagland, Kristin Womble, and Sharlyn Dunagan. Junior representatives were: Patience Harris, Penny Bresnahan, Debbie Brand, and Teresa Evans. For the Sophomores: Renee Patterson and Kala Posey, and the Freshman representative: Jill Booker. As it always has, the pep rally climaxed with the announcement that the mighty Seniors had won the Spirit contest. Tears flowed for many Seniors as they realized this would be their last Homecoming rally and an off harmony rendition of the alma mater ended the most memorable pep rally of their four-year stint at the Valley. The enthusiasm that had built up during the day was carried over into the evening. With all the preparation that had encompassed the week this evening would be the main event.

An Explosion of Spirit: Homecoming Night By the time the Homecoming game against Pell City began, everyone in Pinson Valley was ready to see their In- dians deliver. After all the Kill the Pan- ther chants uttered during the week, how could everyone help but to be psyched up? For the first time in several years, Mother Nature cooperated to make the 1984 Homecoming night free of rain and freezing temperatures. The action on the field wasn ' t bad either as the Indians dominated the Panthers and led at halftime. The halftime festivities came across more smoothly because of the weather. The mam event was the selection of Homecoming Queen. One at a time the contestants walked across the field; Freshman Jill Booker was escorted by Huck McElven. The sophomore participants were Renae Patterson, escorted by Trey Stengall; and Kala Posey, accompanied by Todd Jackson. The Junior representatives were Patience Harris, escorted by Shay Shelnutt; Penny Bresnahan, escorted by Chris McDonald; Debbie Brand, escorted by Buddy Hughes, and Teresa Evans, escorted by Nathan Lovvorn. The Senior representatives were Rene Rutherford escorted by Kipp McClurg; Holly Hoagland, accom- panied by Richard Walker; Kristin Womble, escorted by Ray Driver; and Sharlyn Dunagan, attended by David Cox. The excitement built as last year ' s queen. Amy Stengall, accompanied by Raymond Walker, came out to turn over her crown to the new queen, and no one was really surprised when Rene Rutherford was announced as the win- ner. The only problem was that Rene, because of a poor sound system, found out about five seconds after everyone else did. The second half of the football game was no disappointment to the fans. The Indians played strong and blasted the Panthers 28-6. Though there was no doubt that the team was the strongest the school had seen no one could help but believe that the support from the students contributed to the victory. No matter how Homecoming night was spent it was just another that will be recorded by everyone with fond memories. There will be other Homecomings and other Homecoming participants but as of 1985, this was the best Homecoming ever at Pinson Valley. HOMECOMING 31
