A Welcome Home Victory As their dates were reaching for car keys, frantic girls made quick trips between the bathroom and bedroom while preparing for the Homecoming Dance. The Homecoming Dance also proved to be a Victory Dance because the Rebels crushed the Armstrong- Kennedy football team the night before. The dance and the parade had kept Rebels on their toes and made the Homecoming weekend more memorable. Hi-Y awarded the best decorated homeroom with free tickets for every student in that class. Princesses searched weeks before the game for the perfect outfit to be worn. The Sophomore Class built up their spirit as they wore special clothes for designated days during the week of Homecoming. “Liquid Pleasure” buttons had been passed among the student body to arouse interest in the dance and the band. Posters covered the walls encouraging the sale of tickets which were circulated by clubs and organizations. FATS decorated the dance with the talents of many art students. Hours and hours had been demanded of devoted club members for the construction of the homecoming floats. Each organization elected a princess to represent it and to ride on the carefully constructed floats and decorated cars. At half time, a gasp of excitement was heard from senior Jennifer Penley, the new Maid of Honor, as she was crowned by the 1978 Queen, Ginger Heflin. The excited crowd was then hushed for the announcement of the Homecoming Queen. SCA President, David Wu, temporarily broke the tension when he announced, “The envelope, please.” Seconds later, senior Ann Green was hugging her father and Mr. Anthony and was surrounded by friends who wished to congratulate her. Freeman alumni, present students, and faculty were pleased about the Rebels’ victory over the Armstrong- Kennedy Jaguars. For many seniors, the weekend marked their final homecoming as students at Freeman, and they looked forward to their future Homecomings as alumni of Freeman.
