Homecoming ts Homecoming 1980 is one He- len Stamm will never forget since she was chosen by the sen- ior class to be Homecoming Queen. For everyone watching, it was filled with suspense. Sud- denly the crowd was completely quiet and then over the loud speaker Helen was announced as queen. The excited senior at- tendants were Glenda Smith and Gina Harrolds. Helen’s brother Garry Stamm was her escort. Glenda’s escort was Kevin Myers and Gina’s was Mike Hoffman. Representing the junior class was Beth Sutton. Brett Hughes was her escort. Missy Blevins was chosen by the sophomores to represent their class. Her es- cort was Brian Healey. Homecoming started off with Magic To Helen rain? Even though the girls on both sides played their hardest and the coaches had worked hard to teach each side what they thought they should know about the plays, the game ended at 3:25 with a score of 0-0 and all of the junior and senior girls just exhausted. At half time of the evening’s football game along with the crowning of the queen, each class presented a float having to do with the homecoming theme: ““Magic to Do.” The junior float was judged to be the best. All in all, Homecoming 1980 was one that DeKalb will never forget because of the powder puff game and the dance after- wards.

The Hobbit’s barrel scene included characters played by Jill Dicken, Kim DeLucenay, Dereck Walton, and Steph Mafera. Viewers, Doers Enjoy Hobbit, Count Oracula ‘“Dracula’”’ and ‘The Hobbit”’ were big successes to all who participated in them and to those who went to see them. It seems that ‘Dracula’ was a neck-biting spectacular whereas “The Hobbit” was delightful and exciting. Bob Brown was the main man as he protrayed the frightful Count Dracula. Janet King was the leading lady. Kathy Dunn was the maid and Noel Outland portrayed the dungeon keeper. Chris Wagner added his in- sane antics as Wrenfield, the ma- niac who ate flies and creepy crawly things. Although very hesitant at first, he finally led them to where Count Dracula lived and they captured and killed him. The long hours of practices paid off when the play was a hit and was presented to the stu- 14 The Hobbit dents and faculty during school. The children’s theatre pro- duction of ‘““The Hobbit’? had Chris Wagner as Bilbo, the main character. Craig Davis as Gan- dolf, the wizard, and Dereck Walton as Thoren added their talents. The setting and fabulous cos- tumes also added to the produc- tion, which was especially en- joyed by children from the dis- trict’s elementary schools. The two men who were most- ly responsible for the plays were Mr. Nagel and Mr. LaFavour. Additional help came from the students themselves by having a stage crew helping the main characters get in and out of their costumes and the make-up crew touching up the make-up here and there. Both plays were pro- ductions of which the cast and crew can be justifiably proud. The wood elves have captured the dwarfs and they are trying to plan a way to get out and away from the elves. Craig Davis as Gandolf, the wizard)) smiles after he has just finished turning the dwarfs into stone.
