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

What’s the only group in the school that has an air conditioned classroom? If you guessed the NUNTIUS staff, you’re right! One of the hardest working classes, the NUNTIUS staff met in mid-June to sell ads. In August, fifteen class members met at Mrs. Martin’s trailer on the lake for a head start on the yearbook. The two days Waiting to be judged in the Hairy Leg Contest are first, second, and last place winners, Coach Don Revell, Mr. Jon Browning, and Coach Dale Capar- aso.

By the second week of school the NUNTIUS staff was at work planning the yearbook. Writing copy, or- dering pictures, and planning layouts were only a small portion of what had to be done. There was also yearbook week to plan, books to sell, and deadlines to meet. After editor-in-chief Wendy Dotson proofed the final pages only a few weeks remained before the entire process start- ed again. Yes, the NUNTIUS staff has a year-long task. Conferring on a yearbook matter are Dawn Brooks, Alan Paternoster, Pat Owen, and Angie Campbell. Listening attentively are Michelle Payne and Bonnie Adams. Nuntius 11
