The dream spun into reality. What the cheerleaders planned in the summer and thought was far into the future, emerged. What students had counted the days for and thought would never arrive, happened. Homecoming ‘86 was here. An enthusiastic and hopeful crowd turned out for the game on Friday, October 17, and cheered on their team against league leader Buckingham. During halftime the band played as the two attendants elected from each class walked down the fifty yard line escorted by their proud fathers. The long awaited announcement was made; the king and queen were named. LaDonna Mason came forward to accept her crown from last years queen, Dawn Cothran. Then the king, Jamie West, was crowned amid cheers escalating Nervously walking to receive her crown, Katina Fisher is escorted by her father. Katina was one of the freshman class attendants. The attendants were nominated by their class mates and from these, two were elected. from the crowd. Throughout the game the Colonels fought hard, scoring the first touchdown, but unfortunately losing to the Knights. However, the loss did not dampen the students’ spirits. The following night the dance was held. Excitement filled the air as students entered the gym to await the appearance of the Homecoming Court. At last, they arrived and danced the opening number to theme song, “With You All The Way’ by New Edition. The D.J., Python, played the latest hits along with a few oldies as couples danced the night away under streamers of pink, white, and lavender. Homecoming ‘86, like a dream, was over as quickly as it had begun. But, also like a dream, it left lasting memories. — LeeAnn Sease The aA ates Court and their T fathers: Mr. Russell Thornhill and Amy Childress, Mr. Robert Walker and Marie, Mr. Malcom Tucker and Treva Stern, Mr. Scott Tyler and Lori, Mr. Woodrow Mason and LaDonna, Mr. Barry Bag- erly and Kim, Mr. Kenneth Poe and Angie, and Mr. Quentis Fisher and Katina.
