When Its’ Right You Know It! It was our last homecoming float: we all knew it had to be great. We put all our sources together until we came up with an idea we knew was unbeatable: we had to win. We were determined. With only four nights to work on our float, we made ev- ery minute useful. We kept our breaks to a minimum and even brought our supper along to save time. We were— devoted. Sharp chicken wire, and the tiring job of twisting in the napkins became hazardous to our health. Hours of such work brought tremendous pain to our fingers. We were—in agony. However, our task was made enjoyable by watching dancers learning to disco, young children performing acr- obatics. and our own clowns (Eddie Johns in his tutu). We were—entertained. Seeing our Pooh bear being formed out of chicken wire left us in complete awe. We shall never forget the moment of silence as we placed Pooh's head upon his shoulders, and the spontaneous applause that followed. We were— artists. After our float’s completion we scouted our opposition. Some underclassmen were hospitable, others hostile. Mostly hostile: We were—attacked. Friday, finally arrived. Seeing our beautiful float in the parade filled us with pride. Our efforts were rewarded when we met back at the school for the judges decision. We were—victorious. First place was ours. Lower l eft: Senior class float won first prize in Homecoming parade contest. Upper Right Center: Devoted Jeff Young stopped only for a chicken leg Right Center: Senior sponsor.

I help you. please? 5 We had finally become seniors and with pride we voted for our senior class officers. Blaine Hirst, Eleatha Phares. Debbie Peel, and Lucy Coggin won these titles, but they were also elected to a time consuming job of working in the concession stand every home game. We had graduated from selling magazines to pushing hamburgers, hotdogs. potato chips, peanuts, and pickles. The thought of raising money for our senior trip kept us smiling as we worked, and made volunteering our lime a privilege instead of a problem. We got daring as we called out to strangers to try' our special-recipe hamburgers, and some of us even ventured out from the safety of the concession stand to sell our goods to the hungry, spirit-filled spectators. We found our job enjoyable, but as the night wore on. our supplies dwindled-so did our cheery “May I help you’s?”. It was only toward the final minutes of the night that Mr. Vann’s famous line. “How much money you got? emerged. Now the games are over, and the work is complete, but when next season comes we will remember not the work, but the fun. Upper Left: Dannv Strickland and Ernest Pyfrom deciphered a route to gel to the top bleacher. Upper Left Center: After a hard night Pat Bush and Danny Strickland took a break.
