Life How students spent their time reflected their lifestyles. Goofing off with friends, studying for a difficult test, babysitting all weekend, prac- ticing long hot hours in marching band, attending church activities, helping out in a family business, and going to Homecoming with that special someone were all activities in teenagers’ lives. Jennifer Blanken- ship, a middle school flutist, agreed with this. She commented that even Martin I our with all its pizzazz band was easy and that it was fun to be with friends who also performed. All these activities gave a lifestyle to the student body that showed having fun while working hard was a main goal. That was our lifestyle with all its pizzazz. — Sarah Tongue Three o’clock and the front steps become a gathering place for those with rides home. Darrell Rader, Nikki Hunley, Holly Yeatts, and Audrey Farmer exploit their time by studying while Mrs. Tonya Moon waits patiently. Pritchett Lifestyles 7

Portrait Place Portrait Place Portrait Place A Night IIKelly To Be Forgotten The awaited weekend came closer; students became excited. This wasn't just another ordinary weekend; this one was special. Homecoming ‘87 was here! The Colonels were psyched and enthusiastic as the fans cheered them on against the Jefferson Forest Cavaliers. The Colonels proved their abilities as the half ended with a score of 12-0. A hush fell over the crowd as students and parents watched anxiously to hear the announcement of the Homecoming Court. The band played “The Fox” as attendants were escorted by proud fathers down the fifty yard line to receive their crowns. LeeAnn Sease was pronounced queen and Rodney Singleton, king. Throughout the rest of the game, the Colonels remained indomitable. The game ended in a glorious 20-6 vic- tory. On Saturday, girls spent extra time putting finishing touches on their at- tire until their dates arrived. Many couples made plans to eat together Portrait Place before the dance, while others who went stag got together. Though the night air was a little cool, it didn’t seem to matter once ev- eryone gathered inside to welcome the Homecoming Court. King Rod- ney Singleton and Queen LeeAnn Sease led their court in the opening dance to the theme “Endless Love” under streamers of silver, white, and royal blue. D.J., Python, provided the music. Although Homecoming was thought of as a time of joy and excite- ment, situations often arise that turn things completely around. Before the evening ended, news of an accident spread throughout town. After eating in Lynchburg, Tamara Bolling and Susan Campbell headed for the dance. However, a single car collision abruptly ended Susan’s life. The ex- citement of Homecoming suddenly turned to grief. As the memories of this weekend lingered, they marked a time not likely to be forgotten. — Vanessa Boley Throughout the evening, Python rocks the night away with the latest hits. By popular demand, he returned to entertain for a second year. Homecoming 9
