Seventeen compete for title The Behind the Scenes work that went into preparing for homecoming made this night very special. Basketball teams practiced for hours on end to get ready for the Casey County teams. Teachers worked with the candidates to make sure they understood what they were to do. Cheerleaders polished up their yells to lead the fans in “cheering on” the teams. And band members spent extra playing time on “Evergreen” to make sure it sounded perfect for this eventful night. To start the night off right, the JV boys’ basketball team defeated Casey County in a close and exciting game. Next came the crowning of the homecoming queen. The candidates were introduced to the audience, and then the winners were announced. Lisa Hadley and Shannon Goodin tied for third run- ner-up. Collene Green was chosen sec- ond runner-up. Art representative Cindy Loy was first runner-up, and Twyla Bur- ton was crowned the 1983 Basketball Homecoming Queen. The boys’ varsity basketball team was defeated by Casey County, but the Indians put forth a great effort. The Career Club sponsored a dance in the cafeteria after the game. Music was provided by HOB Sounds. All of the success of homecoming can be attributed to the great Behind the Scenes work by all of the people that participated in the activities.

Students look ahead College and Career Day is a time for juniors and seniors to talk to college re- presentatives and professional people about the different aspects of campus life and the business world. The representatives discussed with juniors and seniors what each college has to offer. Professional people from around the county assisted students in their decisions. For example, representatives from Westlake Cumberland Hospital were present to discuss the medical profession. Junior George Caldwell said, “I enjoyed talking to UK and Western repre- sentatives.” He also learned about the programs each college has to offer. Junior William Grider talked with representa- tives from Campbellsville College. They invited William to come meet the teach- ers and look around the campus. Many colleges sent representatives to help inform students about what lies ahead. The colleges represented ranged from Midway, an all girl school, to Western Kentucky University, a large co- ed university. During the day students were able to talk to people such as Richard Lee Walker, a real estate agent, and Henry Giles, a writer.
