Homecoming resembled a comedy Oferrors: the junior float gave its im- pression of ttGone With the Windt, by blowing away before the parade; the crown fell off Queen Sherryts head during the ceremony; the bonfire rais- ed more smoke than spirit; and, most disappointing, the Pirates lost the game to Floyd Central. But maybe it was the bad luck that strengthened the studentst spirit, which was constantly being tested. The week leading up to the game consisted of many activities in which all classes competed. Dressing up in sports pages to ttSpread the News? building floats, buying chain links, and yelling at the pep session were just some of the ways students expressed spirit. At the end of the week the seniors prevailed as spirit winners, but it was the combined effort of all the classes which made it a memorable homecom- mg. A Comedy of Errors Illlm - l 'll'nt Ii ,2!
