October 21st showed itself to be an exceptionally exciting day, not only because it fell on a Friday, but because it was designated on the school calendar as Homecoming 77. Emotions were further intensified when students were evacuated and left to stand on the practice field while police searched the building for possible traces of a bomb. After the threat was proven false, classes reassembled although accom- plishing any work seemed next to impossible. Homecoming festivities got into full swing with the start of the pep rally which provided a needed release of energy after an ex- plosive day. Then, under blue skies, Raider spirit reatetcel acre debcoletejal the town in the form of a parade. By 8:00 the Raiders were in gear, and ready to ring Liberty's bell in front of the crowd at Bragg Stadium. And this they did as they trounced over the Minutemen 33-6, interrupted only by the halftime show when Karen Gillaspie was crowned Homecoming Queen. Good times rolled on as students and alumnae danced to the tune of The Royal Kings. Just another Homecoming? No way. It was Homecoming '77, even more special when Seniors realized that they'd played their last high school game at Bragg Stadium and that next year they'd be alumnae, coming home to A.C.H.S.
