Special Fantasies Come True The 1981-82 homecoming did not hold victories for the Pirates. But the 1982-83 comebacks of the athletic teams sparked the excitements of both homecomings and the Tip- Off Tourney. Football Homecoming made a dream come true for Tammy Cox, as she was crowned the 1982 queen. The court members stuck to the tradition of wearing fall blazers and slacks. The team brought the night to a fantastic ending by beating Clarksville 47-7. Once again the fantasy became a reality, as IoAnn Ramsey was chosen the 1983 Basketball Homecoming queen. The court members wore a variety of formals instead of the tra- ditional red velvet dresses. The night turned out to be one of many excitements as the Pirates beat the Salem Lions 75- 54. For the first time, the Holiday Tourney was moved to No- vember and changed to the Tip-Off Tourney. The CHS can- didate, Karen Lutz, was honored with the title of queen. Ka- ren and her escort, Troy Davis, were attired in tuxes, stylishly concealing Karen's leg surgery. Although the Pirates did not win the tourney, they were runners-up in a tense struggle for the championship.

16 Pirates Co for It' and Rip Clarksville Go for it was a fitting Homecoming theme, as the Pirates definitely went for it. The week of the tenth annual Football Homecoming was a flurry of activity as students tried to motivate the Pirates to beat the Generals. All the classes were involved in building floats, making hallway deco- rations, and figuring out what to wear for Spirit Week. The hard work paid off without a doubt for the seniors, who dominated every contest but Main Hallway Poster, where they were bested by the juniors. Colorful floats were the main attraction of the parade that got un- derway on Tuesday. The seniors took first place with their extra-terrestial float, and senior Donna McDaniel ac- quired first place for Best Decorated Car. The girls squared off on Wednesday night for the Powder Puff games. The sophomores triumphed 6-0 in overtime. The seniors were victorious with a score of 22-6 in a game marred by injuries. Between games, senior Troy Davis was crowned king. The highlight of the week was on Friday night with the crowning of Tammy Cox as Homecoming queen. The Pirates proved to the students their work had not been in vain, by pounding the Clarksville Generals 47- 7. Looking cool in hats and shades, members of the band stand at attention, ready to play their in- struments during the Homecoming parade.
