72 Homecoming unites old and new alike Homecoming, with all the glamour and splendor, happened as a result of many hours of preparation. To begin with, six different clubs, along with the three classes, competed against each other rn Sing Song, This built up everyone 's spirit for Homecoming night. Signs, locker boosters, and decorations were the main items of preparation for Homecoming. Frequently after school, a variety of students were seen painting signs, or decorating the halls or the gymnasium. Thursday night after Sing Song, students were seen until the wee hours of the morning, decorating for the pep rally. Homecoming took a lot of cooperation from a lot of different people. Mr. Wes Odell, quite possibly the most frenzied teacher in regards to Homecoming, had a right to be so, He had to coordinate Sing Song, get the three Corvettes for the Homecoming vehicles, write the description of the Oueen, and, above all, he made sure everything came off smoothly. His cohorts, alias the Faculty Fossils, helped Homecoming become a big success. A feeling of accomplishment came over everyone involved with the preparation of Homecoming, Thus, Abilene High had one of the most successful Homecomings in years, X ,T .sq W ,,41u....-an Y.--w gl' A big night awaits Homecoming Oueen finalists Jackie Flores, Suzanne Hickey, and Stacy Brecheen as they select their attire -Homecoming Even sophomores can do big things, as shown by Neal Coates J fax lis-
