Student Life What are these three senior goofs up to at the bonfire? Maybe Melanie Peevey can explain what she, Jeana Taylor, Brandi Mayes, and someone who appears to only have one eye are up to.

September 24, 1987 was a new experience at Bells High School. Even though there was the familiar excitement as in years past and the anticipation of who would be Homecom- ing Queen, this was the first Homecoming on a brand new field. For the first time, the Homecoming Queen was not escorted by a Senior football player. Traditionally, Queen candidates were escorted by a Senior who played on the football team. However, Lynn Felmet, a Senior basketball player, proudly escorted Miss Regina Thomas, the 1987 Homecoming Queen. Accompanying Re- gina and Lynn was Queen candidate Jodi Higgins. Other candidates included Lauren Young and Melanie Peevey es- corted by Brian Hamilton, Shelly Vick and Shanna Rolen escorted by Mark Garner, Robin Metcalf and Mandy Holland escorted by Chad Way, Brandi Mays and Sandi Winchester escorted by Robert Miller, and Lisa Corbin and Jennifer Bateman escorted by Richie Harris. Another highlight of pre-game activities was the announcing of Mr. Panther and Miss Spirit. This year, Richie Harris was named Mr. Panther, and Shelly Vick was named as Miss Spirit. After the game, a dance was held in the commons area of the new high school. A lip sync contest followed with such entertainers as the Sha-na-nettes lBuIa Garner, Lynda Lewis, and Patricia Nealj, Wang Chung fFrankIin Colwell David 'I' 'hey .e,r tillil :Of JOY!

IiATHY'S FLUWERS 8: FRILLS Page Sponsored by: FIRED UP 8t Ready!!! The bonfire has always been an important part of Homecoming activities at Bells High School. This year's Bonfire was a little out of the ordinary. As tradition may have it, the Seniors were supposed to build the bonfire, but this year the Juniors contri- buted a great deal of time and effort to the Homecoming bon- fire. The Seniors would like to say thank you to the upcoming class. Another interesting part of the bonfire was the mile long snake dance across U. S. Highway 82. At least 100 Panther fans joined hand to hand and paraded across the highway into Rosehill Ceme- tery and back with Mrs. Karen Rowell hollering in the back- ground, DON'T G0 ACROSS THAT HIGHWAY CHILDREN!! But did we listen? Of course not! Why spoil the fun? Homecoming 21
