THE GAMES. Mission: Take an ordinary Friday, October 17, and transform it into a spectacular Homecoming. Accomplices: Thirteen maids with escorts, an enthusiastic band, and a ready-to-win football team. This situation grew into Callaway ' s big fall mission. Homecoming. The first meeting of the accomplices took place in Callaway ' s gymna- sium at 10:00 A.M. Each maid grabbed the center spotlight as she walked down the plant-lined path to the soft music of the band. The most important event of the day began at 7:00 P.M. As the song What I Did For Love echoed through the stadium, the maids walked down an aisle formed by ' Chargettes and band members. Newell field took on a new appear- ance because the maids added a flare as beautiful as a spring bou- quet. Excitement mounted when the row of maids awaited the big announcement. The name echoed throughout the stadium as Benny Chisholm announced the Home- coming Queen, Susan Smith. Crowned by last year ' s queen, Ruth McLeod, Susan graciously took her reign. After this spectacular pre-game show, the Mighty Chargers topped the night as they stuck once again and won the game. Then came the celebration! With a student body as party hardy as Callaway ' s, this part of the mission attained a high rating easily. The National Guard Armory housed these accomplices as Freedom entertained with their electrifying sounds from 10:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. Mission Accomplished: Callaway outdid the professionals in earring out its assignment and every one rated the day as excellent. However, with a student body, a band, and a football team like Callaway ' s, it proved to be, Elementary, Watson, elementary.
