Overheard conversations Tell the tale of five days Tuesday, whispered during Al- gebra II class, Kim Erlinger and Beth Love: What're you gonna wear for Nerd Day? Oh, I'll probably raid my dad's closet. He was a typical nerd in his day. He has some polyester suits that even Pee Wee Herman would never wear. 1 found my dad's reading glasses from high school. They still have tape on the nose. Boy, when you see me coming you'll probably scream 'Nerd Alert! ' What about your hair? I'm gonna grease it so much that you can squeeze oil out of it. Tuesday night, in the hall of the senior high wing, Melissa Little- field: Katy, pass that bottle of glue over here, please. What color of glitter are we using for the sun- glasses? Oh, yeah, purple. Are you sure that we have enough tape for all these numbers? Wednesday afternoon, bending over the skirt of the seniors float, Christy Weisenbach: Are we ever gonna finish this peacock? Give me some more of that glue. 1 need to finish this skirt or Mrs. Phelps will scream bloody murder. Do you think this thing has enough colors? I think it looks pregnant. What happened to the tail? Oh, well, we'll win just because we're the seniors! Thursday night, in the middle of the hall in front of the juniors lockers, Brenda Yandell: Hey, hand me some more of that tape, will ya? I've already taped all the streamers up to the walls and the numbers to the lockers, and bought noise-mak- ers for the pep rally. We're gonna win the spirit bell if it kills me! Friday morning, in the junior high wing in front of Mrs. Love's room, Matt Wester: Hey, Mrs. Love, have you seen the seniors? They have these purple wigs! And on their faces, they've got this purple and gold stuff. It looks pretty neat. Boy, why didn't we think of that? Now you can really tell who the seniors are! Trying to be a nerd, Kendra Woelfel puts away her sophistication for a day during homecoming week. Showing her heighth in spirit, Miss B tilts the mic down to make an announce- ment. , .

 • Royalty loaded with Family ties As the clouds rolled in on homecoming day, the memory of last year surfaced. Oh no, not again. Please don't rain, we all thought but were al- most afraid to say out loud for fear of bringing bad luck. In the nineteen years that Mr. Peter Prewett has been our principal, it had never rained on home- coming until last year, which happened to be his son's (Bill Prewett) first year here as science teacher and Student Council sponsor. Some of us threatened to send Bill Prewett packing .back to Smackover where he says it rained three out of the six years he was in charge of homecoming there. Fortu- nately for him, the rain held off for the parade. But at 5:30, while Student Council members Tresa and Trena Adair, Jennifer Gibson, Christy Weisen- bach, and T.J. Hereford were decorating the royalty chairs, it started to rain. It's time to bring out the tarp, Trena commented. Bad luck had struck again, thought many fans. But within an hour's time 1 How long can Judy Baker hold that million dollar smile? the rain stopped, leaving the field muddy but solid enough for the royalty to walk across. The moist air may have wilted Queen Judy's hair, but it didn't dampen her smile. The corona- tion proceeded as usual. All coronations are memorable, but this one had more family ties than customary. Judy Baker's first reaction was to call her sister, Vonda who was junior maid in 1982. Freshman maid. Shan- non Dunn's grandfather, Hokey Dunn, a 1937 alum- nus was her driver for the parade. One of the queen's attendants, Blake Travis, has an older brother, Tony who is a defensive line- Bearcat fans, young or old, graduates or transfers, nave come to expect a homecoming victory.
