l± pirit Hovers With Homecoming Taking a space on the crowded orange- and-brown side of the football field wit- nessed the end of a frenzied week called Homecoming. The wind was icy and the students were huddled in plaid blankets cheering on the victorious football ath- letes. Halftime would soon follow. Backtracking through the punkers” to sweats and jerseys ’ the 1982 Spirit Week consisted of not just students with the Homecoming fever, but the faculty and resources displayed the Go East” slogans. The school was pulsating with ex- citement and anxiety. Although the football competition did sum up the entire week, other sports were active also. The volleyball squad had an important win over Jennings County while women’s gold advanced to state section- als placing fifth out of eight opponents. Racing along was the cross country team which placed third in sectionals, and with the East-North soccer event came a close match with an Olympian defeat. Another sports spectacular was the eighth annual powderpuff game, which some will re- member as another senior victory” when they smudged the juniors 28-0. And keep- ing with tradition, the new Powderpuff King was honorably crowned as Senior Tim Huntington. Moving away from tradition, the Sopho- more Class started a new one by sponsor- ing the first annual picnic. It was funny watching people participate in the game. stated Sophomore Samantha Battin. Such games included tug of war. balloon busts, and potato sack races. After the steaming hotdogs and rippled potato chips, the daz- zling bonfire kept our spirit burning. Creeping quickly back to the night noise of the football contest, half-time presented our new queen as Senior Rhonda Niceley. I remember I was feeling so nervous-, everyone was, exclaimed Ni- celey. My brother, who was my escort, could feel me trembling. He thought I was tugging at his arm.” While the football lights continued to reflect and the band settled into place, the spirit dwindled down finally to its revelation. Afterwards, victory was in the air and the crowd dispersed into the school. The music was stirring and the lights were keeping the tempo with our student body jumping at the Homecoming Dance. Un- like any other dance, there were more people who danced earning more vacant space for onlookers. The DJ kept the beat going with twisting contests and albums included, and the crowd continued to grow. There wasn’t necessarily more people, but more people participated. More enjoyed themselves.” stated Senior Allen Smith, a contest winner. Midnight came and football players were tiring. East once again stood empty for the weekend. Homecoming had its moments and the spirit settled into its place for another year. by Marge Goodwin W inner of the 1982 Homecoming queen Senior Rhonda Niceley giggled with anxiety along with Senior Lori Bryant. y he orange and the ominous line-up of the Olympians await the snap of the ball, victoriously crushing Seymour.
