VICTORIOUS HOMECOMING IN 72 At first it seemed that Fate was vehem- ently opposed to BA’s Homecoming. Heavy rains, resulting in a flood, caused the game to be postponed from October 6 to October 27 and the dance from October 7 to November 4. However, once the week of October 27 came, spirits began to rise as the excitement of Homecoming drew nearer. The Pep Club did its part to arouse spirit by sponsoring a bonfire, a slave sale, and selling links for a spirit chain which was to be displayed at the football game. On Friday night the mighty Viking team went on the field with determination to crush the Colts of Albemarle Academy. With speed, passing skill, and extraordinary tackles and blocks, the Vikings trounced Albemarle 27-6. The highlight of the Homecoming festiv- ities was the presentation of the queen and her court at halftime. These girls had been selected by their classes. The entire student body voted for the queen, who was selected from among the four Senior representatives, who were Nancy Gaskins, Carol Slate, Debbie Jones, and Ellen Martin. Junior representa- tives were Daphne Slaw, Wendy Clary, and Vickie Lewis. The girls representing the Sophomore class were Pam Peebles and Donna Harrell. Freshmen representatives were Faye Man- gum and Terry Slaw. The Pre-Freshmen re- presentatives were Betty Love Nash and Carolyn Daniel. Crown-bearer was little Ellen Thompson. Tension mounted as the girls took their places on the field. Mr. Nolen announced the queen, Debbie Jones. She was crowned by Mr. Robert Williams, president of the Athletic Club. Ellen Martin served as maid-of-honor. On November 4, Debbie and her court were presen ted at the dance. The evening was greatly enjoyed by students, alumni, and faculty members as they danced to the music of the Sweet Thunder. All of these things added up to make Homecoming 1972 at BA an event that will long be remembered by all. 22
