To the strains of Isn’t She Beautiful newly crowned Haltom Homecoming queen Mr. Gerald Brown, and her quarterback escort. Mrs. Jonella Northcut. thank their fans. Mike McCauley Doug Winker Day -long celebration Exes join students in Homecoming festivities Homecoming came back, as we always knew it would, as we always know it will. And with it came the same love and happiness that had always been present at such events. A few sur- prises also came, though. Homecoming started out just like any other Homecoming, the breakfast for students, facul- ty, and exes, the interrupted classes — y’know, basic stuff — until the pep rally brought some very special guests to our attention. Mr. Dillard Isabel introduced Todd Haas, a 1987 graduate-to-be. Mr. Isabel also intro- duced Todd’s father, Mr. Daman Haas, a 1959 graduate. Todd’s grandmother. Mrs. Cleo Haas, a 1930 graduate, and Todd’s great- grandmother, Mrs. Frannie Bearden, a 1910- 11 graduate. These four generations of Colts were the special guests of the Student Council. Principal Jerry McCullough then introduced another special guest, Mr. James Crouch, Mr. McCullough’s predecessor as principal. Mr. Crouch delivered a fiery speech and punc- tuated it by taking off his shirt and tie to reveal a Colt T-shirt as he yelled those immortal words, “How sweet it Is to be in COLT COUNTRY!!” At this point, a very strange occurrence hap- pened in that gym. We' were transported through time and space (and sanity) to see the pep rally of our opponents, Haltom. The faculty presented this “Haltom pep ral- ly”, complete with a cheerleading squad, a drill team routine, a football team, and even the crowning of Homecoming Queen Coach Gerald Brown. The whole spectacle ended with a heart- rending version of Haltom’s alma mater, H-A- LLL-T-O-MMM N-E-R-D-SSSS.” CrrgCluung ACTIVITIES 21

Rachel, who played Hermia, said after- wards, We had a lot of fun putting it on. even though it was hard work. Then along came Halloween, This is the annual time of year when people are bom- barded by both big and little kids begging for treats. The rather large area surrounding Colt Country offered a large selection of haunted houses with at which to get scared silly, and the senior class offered a Hallo- ween dance for those less brave. ACTIVITIES 23 The month of October not only brought with it the usual stuff — autumn, Hallo- ween, first report cards — but it also brought a variety of stuff for people to do to stay out of trouble. First of all, there were football games and pep rallies. The pep rallies gave people a reason to get up on Friday mornings, and the football games gave them a reason to get out of the house on Friday nights. The pep rallies got the blood pumpin’ and the games kept it movin’, whether the Colts won or lost. Then along came the play. On the even- ing of Oct. 30 and the afternoon and even- ing of Nov. 1, the drama department staged Shakespeare’s comedy, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Comedy was the right word for it. Bet- ween Helena’s being dragged all over town trying to gain Demetrius’ affections and the Craftsmen’s interesting performance, the audience never stopped laughing. And then there was the little nutcake called Puck. MduMcOuiay MlW McOuUy M.k« M C ut«y F lair for dramatics
