There’s Excitement In The Air The beginning of Homecoming Week stirs up great excitement. There is Spirit Week, election of Home¬ coming princesses (and eventually the Homecoming Queen), the Homecoming parade, and topping off the week’s events is the Homecoming dance. Spirit links went on sale, halls decorated and, of course, dress-up days brightened up the halls. Monday host¬ ed “Toga Day”, Tuesday gave us “Punk Rock Roll Day”, Wednesday saw “Grub Day”, Thursday wel¬ comed “Dress-Up Day”, and Friday spiritfully ca¬ tered “Blue Gold Day”. The top dressed home¬ room was Mrs. Sims ' French class. Mrs. Oliver’s homeroom bought the most spirit links, with a grand total of $120.10. Mrs. Mitchell’s homeroom came in second with a total of $91.35 and Mrs. Albert’s homeroom slid into third place with a total of $68.55. (1) After being selected as CCHS Homecoming Queen for 1983-84, Donna Andes is driven around the stadium for anxious onlookers to see. (2) Grub Day brings out the best in everyone, as Ellen Embrey and David Jen¬ kins prove. In Grub Day competition, Juniors won with 131 participants. Seniors slid into second with 126, and Sophomores came in third with 116. (3) Toga Day was surely mistaken for the “Roman Invasion . Kevin Harry showed off his designer toga to second lunch shift. 8

Friday’s pep-rally proved a greatly spirited sucess, which helped the Blue Devils go onto a 26-20 victory over Louisa. At half-time, the Homecoming princesses were escorted onto the field. Lynn Butler, Cheryl Smart and Jackie Gray were elected princesses from the sophomore class. Lisa Stewart and Christy Kidwell represented the junior class. The Senior princesses were Beth Kerns, Gwen Henderson and Rebecca Hundley. Half-time’s exciting announcements re¬ vealed that Tammy Wray was the Maid of Honor, and Donna Andes was elected 1983-84 Homecom¬ ing Queen with much approval from the spectators. After the game, many students headed for the high school, where “Perfect Strangers’’ awaited Homecoming dancers.
