IS SPECIAL EVENTS

Page 110 text:

THE KEY TO MEMORIES Special Events are said to be the unique highlights to memories. Conner's Seniors have had many occa- sions that lead students to re- ♦member all those special times they had wjth close friends and sweethearts. Football and Basketball Homecomings give each club the chance to choose a candi- date to whom they wish to rep- resent them. After waiting for half-time the final moment came for the Queen to be an- nounced. Many agree that this was a once-in-a-lifetime expe- rience. Students love dances! The Senior Dinner Dance gives all the seniors and their dates a chance to spend time together and enjoy their year. Prom is also a special occasion and many wait all year for this dance to become reality — instead of a dream. All the glamour and memories never seem to end. Awards Night and Gradua- tion to some may not seem so glorious, but to seniors it is a very memorable time, for them to see all their accomplish- ments come to an end. All their hard work finally paid off. Special Events hold many dif- ferent memories for everyone, but all agree that without them high school years would not be so special.

Clouded Skies Do Not Darken Homecoming Spirits The lighting up of the thunderous sky on September 26, 1986, did not take away from the excitement of the twen- ty-eight nervous candidates who were waiting for their name to be announced as the new 1986 Football Home- coming Queen. The sky began to darken as everyone at the Hebron Baptist Church was hurrying about trying to get the last minute decorations on their car. The sun was still trying to come through when suddenly the rain began to pour. Don't worry it will all be over with for the rest of the night if it rains now, commented Annette Strange, and she was right. The rain did hold off just long enough for the Homecoming to come to an end! During the first half of the game all the candidates and their escorts were becoming restless, as everyone passed along jokes and stories trying to make the time go faster. The Cougars were winning seven to nothing which helped put everyone in Cougar spirit . A few of the male escorts decided to put some excitement into the evening and started the wave. And as the band played they all got together and did a dance sitting down; the spirits were high, but the souls were nervous. Finally everyone was announced and the winner was about to be crowned. Fourth attendant was Tracey Hurst; third Suzanne Walton; second Julie Walton; and the first attendant was Linda Wells. The new 1986 Queen Gina Tate. The night ended with a dance which was sponsored by the senior board. Some people were just beginning to calm down while others chose to get rowd-up. All the candidates agreed that this event was going to be a memory they would never forget and that all the time and effort was well worth it. 1. 1986 Queen and her escort smile for the crowd: Cina Tate and Steve King. 2.
