Time To Strut Our Stuff Look over by the tennis courts! It’s a stampede! It’s a riot! No! It’s the lining up of the 1980 Homecoming Parade! Entered into the parade were vehicles decorated by organizations, clubs, and activities. Devoted Tiger fans such as majorettes, cheerleaders, band members, and clowns marched the entire length of the parade. Each class built a float for the parade and competed for the Homecoming Trophy. The senior class of 1981 received first place. 19

’Where is the hammer? Jonathon, Terry, and Suzy pomp the float to its bright colors. Matt takes a rest before finishing the float. Theme week began with top ’em day, each class wearing their own style of hat. That afternoon the Seniors came face to face with the Juniors in the annual Powder Puff game. Tuesday, dress up day, the students dressed in their best threads in honor of the Tigers. Work began on the class floats that afternoon. Wednesday was pop ’em day. Suckers were sold and a prize of fifteen dollars went to the Freshman class for sucking the most suckers. After working on the floats, tennis shoes, penny loafers, and suedes made their way to a pile of wood on the baseball field for the bonfire. The big mouth award was given to the Junior class. Thursday was shoot ’em down day, students dressing in western duds. Craig Hood was the talk of the school passing as Clint Eastwood’s twin. Friday was spirit day with every body dressing in maroon and white. After the assembly everyone rushed out to finish the floats for the parade. Jeff Dossett thinks deeply about plans for his float. 21
