No, it was ... Homecoming '81! Homecoming started on Monday, when everybody got out their hats and cowboy boots. Monday was John Wayne day and the class competition started when the sophomores beat the fresh- men and the seniors bested the juniors in a challenge to see who could be the fastest chugger east of the Mississippi and ride an old sawhorse. Wednesday was James Bond Day and yellow roses were sent to sweethearts along with secret messages. It was the day of the pretty legs contest, although some were not that pretty. When ques- tioning Tony Cape, one of the winners of the Chicken Legs contest, he replied, Oh. leave my legs alone. Then the day of events came. Thursday was Super- man Day and the first event for the day was the Superman contest. Tim Bailey and Rick Scott proved to be the best at running through a brick wall faster than a speeding bullet and being able to lift Aimee Schulman and Sally Boatwright in record breaking time. The real excitement was not until 7:00 p.m. The band gave one of their prize winning shows, then the Viking Wars began. The sack race was first and the seniors had it ’in the bag.' Then juniors Chip Hardy and Rick Scott rolled their way to victo- ry in the wheelbarrow race. Once everything calmed down, the seniors inched past the sophomores in a caterpillar race. Juniors Doug Hollifield and Mark Allen had the special touch to win next in an egg toss. The juniors performed their class skit about a doctor's of- fice. Lynn Harrelson. one of the students in the skit, expressed her anxiousness, It had only taken two minutes when we practiced it before. I thought I was going to die! The sopho- mores performed a courtroom skit about the Vikings being charged with slaughtering the Dorman Cavaliers. The fun-filled evening ended when everyone filed outside to the parking lot where the bon- fire glowed. Singing the alma mater capped the evening as the crowd melted into the night. 20 Homecomtng
