OflECOfllJVO e4)eAie ciKg iS t w[adm2 s Homecoming 1988 proved to be thrilling for all participants. Class- es, clubs, and homerooms hastened to put the finishing touches on signs and doors as the SGA made final preparations. During the day, stu- dents wandered the halls and at- tended classes dressed in uncusto- mary attire — togas, pajamas, horn- rimmed glasses, and poodle skirts. Friday, hard working juniors won the pep rally spirit stick and later were announced winners of the cov- eted class sign award. That night, pre-game activities included performances by the show choir and Rebelettes and the annual releasing of hundreds of balloons. Students, parents, and returning alumni enjoyed the halftime activ- ities, culminating in the announce- ment of Kristee Lively as homecom- ing queen. The night ended with a Midnight Madness dance spon- sored by the Leo Club. Freshmen playing dress up. Everyone anticipating the team.

HARITIES lending Q Qi id Sludenls at VHHS often demonstrate their concern for the less fortunate by donating both their time and money. Once again the Key Club hosted the annual Lakeshore wheelchair bas- ketball game to raise money for Gifts, Inc., the Lakeshore Rehabilitation Center, and other causes. As the year progressed, the disastrous hurricane in Jamaica showed students the ne- cessity of helping the needy in other countries as well as at home. So under the direction of the SCA, the student body collected a truck-load of canned goods and $200 to help rebuild schools. Not long afterwards, the SCA once again directed the efforts to aid those less fortunate by organizing the Walk for the Homeless in conjunction with the school ' s bonHre. The project involved numerous clubs and other or- ganizations from the school with 350 partici- pants collecting 1000 cans of food and $1000. For its efforts, the SCA and school were rec- ognized by the Birmingham Hunger Project and received $1000, which is in turn being used to continue meeting the needs of the hungry. And finally, at Christmas, students responded to the needs of the community as SGA spon- sored pictures with Santa, that yielded $200 for Toys-for-Tots, and the annual Coodfellow col- lection topped last year ' s record.
