 • 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. They were not disappointed. Rusty McDonald returned the opening kickoff 80 yards to stun the Waldron Bulldogs. Beatihg Waldron 12-0 put us back in the conference race.

Taking the driver’s test is the first step . , r , toward Your own set of keys Clutching his red driver's man- ual, New Driver plods up the courthouse steps with his moth- er. He knows he should have read it more closely than he did, but he had to finish his sopho- more novel, A Separate Peace. He tip-toes up to the State troop- er carrying his birth certificate and manual, afraid to bother the hulk of a man straining the but- tons on his blue uniform. Suddenly, the mountain shifts, looks up, and mumbles, Yes. Can I help you? Driver nearly faints, but man- ages to gasp, I want to take my permit test. The mountain shifts again, turn- ing toward the typewriter de- manding, Address? Hair? Eyes? Height? Weight? Driver whispers, East 8th Street, Booneville; Blond; Blue; 5 feet 1 inch; 155. Mountain says, Here's your test; sit at that table and bring it to me when you finish. Driver takes a seat at the table and reads the first question, A driver should dim his headlights within (A) 100 feet (B) 200 feet (C) 300 feet (D) 500 feet of another vehicle. Driver marks d then scratches that out and marks b ; then changes his mind again and marks d again and hopes he's right. The rest of the test goes similarly. Here's my test, Driver man- ages to force out. Mountain takes the test and makes five marks on the multi- ple choice part and two on the signs part. An 80% and a 90%! New Driver has passed his per- mit test. Mountain rumbles out, Good job. Here's your permit. You can come back in 30 days and try for your restricted license. Driver thanks the officer and struts his way out to his mother and waves his permit in her face. She, of course, lets him drive home — but that's another story in New Driver's life. Regina Garner, who is in a hurry, finds unlocking her truck door a very big pet peeve. Fridays are car decorating days, courtesy of the cheerleaders.
