The showers held off long enough for our parade in the afternoon, which featured the junior and senior bands, the cheer- leaders, and each of the lovely senior sponsors. But the rain during the halftime ceremonies could dampen no one’s spirits when we honored Claudia Canipe as our maid of honor and crowned Peggy Ayers as Our queen. 12 Miss Peggy Ann Ayers Junior Band marches in Homecoming parade. 13 ice a tough one cho ls made students gir Lovely 14 Assemblies Brighten Atmosphere French III students give skit. “Louder ...

Regardless of what sign each of us was born under, a good time was had by all as the juniors presented the seniors with a multicolored, strobe-painted, blacklit prom. Rocky, Eddie, and Willa pose for a picture. Tough Schedule Takes Toll Being picked to fin- ish low in the con- ference, the Wolves surprised many by tieing Maiden and upsetting Glen Alpine at the start of the season. The Wolver- ines “‘never say die spirit” prevailed through a bruising schedule and mounting injuries. Winning ways returned to Drexel as they ended the season by swamp- ing Gaston Country Day by a 38 to 6 score. Drexel’s defense is determined. Griffin’s block gains extra yardage for Byrd. 24 “Let go you H H S!H%!” — Coach Shull autographs footballs.

Eighth Graders Get Involved Endeavoring to meet one of the greatest problems of today—Pollution— the eighth grade has launched the S.0.U.L. campaign to Stamp Out Ugly Litter. Led by Cathy Costner and Phyllis McNeely, students have plastered the walls with colorful posters urging everyone to make the Elementary School Campus attractive. With such leadership in the eighth grade, these students are certainly prepared to enter high school. 88 S.O.U.L. campaigners get involved by cleaning up schoolgrounds.

Seniors Make Great Escape Is it actually escaping, or is it being pushed out of the nest? Will it be work, college, or housekeeping? The decision is theirs to make, depend- ing on the quality of their work for the past twelve years. Taking college board tests, measuring for caps and gowns, ordering invitations, and walk- ing in last during assembly become cherished events of their senior year at D.H.S. The memories will last, but the people they have come to know will soon be gone.
