0 efioiol 010 n thing Goes Excitement and craziness of Homecoming -Q it m l week break the doldrums of school The first signs appeared in late Sep- tember. Guys started saving up their money for the most expensive mum they could afford. Girls began to won- der if they would have a date, but just in case, they started shopping for the perfect dress anyway. In spite of an- ticipation and disappointments, Home- coming finally arrived Friday, October 23. I decided on the type of mum I wanted for my date fCassie Danei about a week before the dance, sen- ior Tony Worthy said. The money I spent on the mum was mine that I had saved, and I didn't mind spending it because Homecoming only comes once a year, and this was my last Homecoming. Homecoming week may have seemed rather unusual to an outsider, but for the students, it was a week to uget crazy, Homecoming week was really in- teresting because of the weird ways we had to dress, said sophomore Su- jata Raju. Tuesday was the start of an exciting week for the students. As the students walked down the halls, they could see all the colorful and spirited posters and signs hanging everywhere. The cheerleaders named each day of the week different dress-up days starting with Crazy Dayf' Wednesday was Nerd Day, and Thursday was Dou- 30 student life ble Your Spirit Day. On Friday stu- dents wore red and white. Most students couldn't wait for the pep rally later that afternoon, which put many in a Hhyped-up mood ready for the long-awaited Homecom- ing game. For the first time, the coronation of Homecoming queen was held during half time rather than pre-game. Last year's Homecoming queen, Rochelle Ballard, crowned senior D'Ann Whitsell homecoming queen for 1987. The runners-up were seniors Jennifer Douglass and Heidi Hanson. Homecoming court included junior Stacey Palmer, sophomore Laura Fer- guson, and freshman Micki Williams. Although Homecoming activities were a success, Friday night's game managed to come to a disappointing end as the Cowboys fell to the Bon- ham Warriors 20-7. Homecoming activities extended into the weekend with the traditional Homecoming dance Saturday night, sponsored by Student Council. Dressing up was a fun way of showing your spirit, said senior Brett Wachtel, and, for once, we could do it without getting into trouble. Some of us went to Ashley Stroud's before the game and painted our faces, and then had a convoy up to the school. Even though we lost the game, we still had a good time. BIG MOMENT.
