Rally for Homecoming Homecoming! When people were asked what Homecoming meant to them a lot of responses were given. Many replied like Bruce Sanford with “Party time,” and Cindy Cornett with “A special time to get more spirit.” But Karen Lipscomb and Bruce Hughes summed it up with “A lot of headache, hard work . . . but it’s worth it.” Behind the scenes one could see the SCA making posters, collecting money for spirit links, selling tickets for the dance, decorating the cafeteria, and much more. Also, the SCA planned spirit week. The dress varied from Grub-tie Day to traditional Blue and Gold Day with Twin, Crazy Hat, and ’50’s Day filling out the remainder of the week. Thursday afternoon many industri¬ ous students stayed after school to de¬ corate the halls. The usual class rivalry was particularly evident between the Seniors and Juniors as each battled for best hall. The Sophomores were at a slight disadvantage due to lack of funds and experience. Winding up Friday’s activities was the pep rally. In the gym, SCA Presi¬ dent Bruce Hughes announced the re¬ sults of the spirit chain competition be¬ tween classes. The class of ’80 had done it two years in a row — with a total of $147.50 they defeated the Sophomores with $115.55, and the Juniors with $68.45. 12 Spotlight Jsa Priest, Lynn Amos, and Cindy Somers 50’s Day.

Search for Homecoming Polls showed that only 56% of the student body voted for Homecoming princess candidates. Mrs. Seeley con¬ cluded that the reason many Sopho¬ mores didn’t vote was they had too lit¬ tle time. Unlike upperclassmen who voted during their history or govern¬ ment class, Sophomores had to vote be¬ tween classes or during lunch. The princess election results were an¬ nounced prior to the game. Sophomore princesses were Becky Broman, Lee McNemar, and Jadel Triplett. Junior princesses were Wendy Bryson, Colette Go ldston, and Martha Haught. Senior princesses were Brenda Dennis, Terri Hocket, Barbara Holt, Lisa Jenkins and Hazel Zinn. Friday night during halftime, Home¬ coming activities were not presented in the traditional manner. Due to exces¬ sive rain, the princesses walked from the endzone onto the field instead of being driven around it. Tension rose to a climax until the an¬ nouncer Mike Seavers said, “And now the moment we’ve all been waiting for . . . Maid of Honor-Hazel Zinn and our 1979-80 Homecoming Queen— Brenda Dennis!”. The Blue Devils’ victory over Varina with a score of 32-0 ended Friday night’s events. To conclude Homecoming a dance was held in the cafeteria of CCHS, which sixty-six couples attended. The band “Rejoice” filled the room with vibrations no one is soon to forget. TOP: With a look of resignation, Annette Batiste awaits another downpour of confetti.
