A Pageant of Beauty Drama, Ceremony, Anticipation... Drama, pageantry, ceremony — an edge of anticipation clung to the air as we, an expectant audience, breathlessly awaited the announce- ment. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the 1983-84 Bradley Central High School Homecoming Queen is... As the last waves of sound reverberated through the stadium, ap- plause, hoops, and hollers broke from the stands. The new queen had been crowned. The many preparations and details required for the ceremony and the game itself were all worth it when that evening finally came. Homecoming was ... well, homecoming ... tradition ... memories. For many of us it was a reminder that the time was drawing near when some of us would be leaving Bradley. It was hard not to become sentimental, to relive the cheers, laughs, and tears of our life at Bradley. The night was too alive,” however, to re- main too solemn and introspective. There was excitement in the air. The homecoming court had made its colorful arrival riding atop beautiful corvettes. Among the beauties were seniors Lori King, Angie Gill, and Kelly Bowen. Junior par- ticipants were Missy Harris and Lora Cartwright, and the sophomore court consisted of Michelle Cordell and Tina Harris. When we gazed upon the beautiful ceremony, all aglow with the stadium lights, the court atten- dants beautified further with their flowers, their handsome escorts, flags gently flapping in a soft, cool breeze, accented against a flood of uniforms and sparkling gold and silver in- struments, our pride swelled a bit. The night’s festivities, except for the vic- torious play of our football squad, had been or- chestrated by the Ocoeean staff. The night was flawless as were the beauties. The pageantry of homecoming is always memorable. The 1983 Homecoming was no ex- ception. The new queen had been crowned. She was Miss Lori King. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack V. King, Lori was very active while at Bradley. She served as the senior class secretary, was on the Principal’s Advisory Committee for two years, participated as a varsity football cheerleader for three years, was secretary of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a member of the Future Teachers for two years, was voted as a class beauty for two years, and was voted as Miss January for the school Calendar. Although all of the participants were lovely, the election of Lori by the student body was an indication of her own amiability and the ap- preciation her fellow classmates had for her. Enjoying the moment thoroughly, Angie Gill links arms with her escort Steve Carroll during the middle of the homecom- ing ceremony. Stretched from yard line to yard Noe, homecoming par- ticipants smile contentedly at the close of a perfect ceremony. From left to right are Tina Harris. Sim Kibble. Missy Harris. Donny Brown.
