One To Be Remembered Homecoming Day — the day when everyone was wait- ing to hear who won the title of Miss Homecoming '81 and anticipating who would win 'our' homecoming game. The pep rally Friday was one to be remembered — the coaches being carried in ' the fresh- man skit that was almost booed off the floor, the joke from Polly Nates, and the ERA version of the Mean Joe Green commercial along with Nate's reply to the brassiere, It's mine, Tim. Then came the climax of the week — the big game was in- terupted with half-time and the presentation of the home- coming contestants and their escorts. Then silence covered Harry Parone Stadium as the announcements were made ... Second runner-up ... ju- nior, Glenda Barnes ... First runner-up ... senior, Shelley Graham ... and Miss Home- coming 1981 is senior, Donna Griffin! Although the final score of the game was 0-0, it was a great accomplishment for the players to have held such a successful team as Dor- man. Who Is that masked man?

Len Hathaway of WIS radio was the master of ceremonies while Jill Rankin, former Miss Spring Val- ley and present Miss South Carolina, served as one of the judges. The pageant was held at Columbia College's God- bold Center where 25 girls competed. The evening began with each of the contestants being introduced to the audience. They then displayed their tal- ents which ranged from play- ing the piano to singing and dancing. After each girl had performed her talent, the 10 semifinalists were named, and these 10 girls answered con- troversial questions based on today's society. The new Miss Spring Valley for 1981-82 was senior Lisa Dabney, who represented the National Forensic League (NFL). Lisa had presented the song I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say So for her talent. Lisa has been involved in SV Players, NFL, and Anchor Club, and she was Miss Sophomore of 1979. Her reaction to win- ning was.
