More Than Just a Game It was a shocking experience! said Michelle Burks. Practices were just as much fun as Homecoming itself. It was an honor just to be able to run even if you didn ' t win. Randa Fen- derson added. We had a lot of fun be- fore Homecoming night at Humpback Bridge. All the other candidates and escorts know what I mean. The highlight of the year ' s Spirit Week had to be the crowning of Miss Michelle Burks as our Homecoming Queen. Tammy Wilson was voted as the first runner-up, and Susan Albert won second runner-up honors. It was the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me, said Lisa Davis. It was really nice being a part of Homecoming, added escort Pete Rigney, It was something I won ' t forget. We had the chance to be an escort to the top-ten senior girls, commented Mark Huddleston, before the whole stu- dent body. The actual Homecoming ceremonies capped-off a week in which the whole stu- dent body got into the act of getting ready for the big game. There was a hall decoration competition, an outdoor pep rally, and a football player auction handled by Mr. Tommy Garten (The ball players were sold for a maximum of $3.00). There Randa Fenderson and her escort Mark Huddleston nervously approach their places in the Homecoming ceremony was also a day set aside for wearing funny costumes. Everything was not all roses about Homecoming as our team lost a touah game to Radford 13 to 6 But for the Queen and her court it was a week they will not soon forget . .

You Should Be Dancing With the small number of dances we had this year, when the word DANCE came up, everyone was there. We missed out on our traditional Sadie Hawkins be- cause of the Regional football game. It was planned, but conflicted with the game, said Janie Curtin. It was never rescheduled. For the entire student body there were two dances, the Homecoming and the Mardi Gras. We took advantage of what little we had, said 8th grader Whitey Webb. For the freshman and on up there was the 1976 Christmas Formal, Frosted Illusions where a band did show up. It was a relief to come and see a band instead of nothing, said Tony Nicely. For the juniors and seniors Atlantis , the junior-senior prom, added the perfect ending touch. Oh yes, we usually have more, but with the mid-year vacation (energy crisis) and the breaking up of bands, we just did not have the time. You should be dancing . . . How can we, when there is no dances. 30 DANCES
