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.
