i ic ROA 4 8 ' ab ¢ = e students ‘Sail Homecoming, one of the most antici- pated events of the year, was a great success. Preparations began in early September with a car wash, a flower sale, and weekly sales of spirit ribbons, and continued until the day of the dance. The cheerleaders worked diligently making plans and decorations for the dance. Streamers were ordered along with a fountain, backdrop, and palm trees. The theme ‘‘Sail On’’ was visually accented by the scenery and color scheme. The Hawaiian scene, palm trees, and fountain added even more to this effect. On the night of the game, spirits were high. As one of the most anticipated events of the weekend began, enthusi- The 1982 Homecoming Court: King Tim Dudley and Queen Jill Taylor along with senior attendants and their escorts: Janice Payne and Booker Payne, Tina Tucker and Spencer Wormuth. Picking out a song, Tarek Farmer flips through the record collection of TNT. TNT was made up of two disc jockeys who played their collection of the top funk and soul hits. Homecoming King Tim Dudley follows tradition and kisses Queen Jill Taylor. Jill, a cheerleader, was very inspiring to the crowd as she helped cheer the football team to their best game of the season. On’ With TNT asm was rampant among the crowd. In spite of all the support, the game was lost, but only by a slight margin as the Colonels played their best game of the season. Despite this loss the dance began with an air of excitement as newly crowned Homecoming Queen Jill Taylor and her escort Tim Dudley shared the first dance with the underclass attendants and their escorts. The dance continued to the beat of the rock group TNT. Refreshments were served and pictures were taken. The evening drew to a close, and most said that the weekend had been fun and a complete success. Homecoming 9
