This must have been the thought of not only Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind, but also the Newman High football team as they left the Episcopal field on the night of October 17. During an 8-6 Homecoming victory, the Knights slid by the Greenies to send both the fans and players into ecstasy. Though as senior Jeff Harlan says, We got out by the skin of out teeth, it still was the biggest Homecoming game we have ever had. I was so excited when I saw everyone lined up at the fence. In addition to the drama of the football game, numerous other events contributed to the excitement of Homecoming week. Alumni returned to campus, the Squires sold t-shirts to boost the already high level of enthusiasm, the cheerleaders painted signs and banners to be displayed all over, and the Homecoming Court was elected. This year's festivities, following the theme of Old South, began with a breakfast at senior Rebecca Rainer's house on Friday morning. Although students did have to endure a full day of classes, anticipation of the afternoon pep rally made the time pass quickly. As the students filled the gym, electricity ran high as the cheerleaders led chants and the coaches gave pep talks to fire everyone up. The students were further entertained by the seniors' version of Puttin' on the Hits which featured the Knights driving out the Greenies with sticks and brooms. Finally, the moment arrived that everyone had been waiting for- the presentation of the Homecoming Court. Excitement filled the air as Mrs. Lucy Smith announced Elizabeth Hebert as the new Homecoming Queen. When asked to sum up her feelings, all Elizabeth could respond was. This is one event I will never forget. The climax of the weekend was, of course, the dance on Saturday night. Guys and girls took extra time to make sure that their suits and dresses looked perfect. While some ate at nice restaurants and others ate at dinner parties, all students arrived at the Dining Hall between eight and nine o'clock, ready for a night of fun, dancing to the music of Impulse. Overall, Homecoming '86 provided everyone with a time to display school spirit, see old friends, and create new memories.

Balloons Filled The Air They were bright and pretty, and they filled the campus with cheer and color. Some were round and others heart-shaped. Some were filled with air, but most were filled with helium. There were a variety of colors, the most popular of which being pink and red. Some were carried by themselves, others part of a great big bunch, and still others wered attached to a bag of candy, a stuffed animal, or a nicely wrapped present. Whatever the size, shape, or form, all of the balloons were brought to school for the same reason. They were to be given out for Valentine's Day. They were given from friend to friend, from boyfriend to girlfriend, and, of course, from Big Sisses to Lil' Sisses. Eggs Stood Up At 9:52 am on Friday March 20, students and teachers were seen rushing out of the classrooms towards the sidewalk. No, it was not the end of class, nor was it a fire drill. These people were rushing out to see eggs standing on their ends. It was due to the Vernal Equinox. This is when the sun crosses the equator and the night and day are everywhere of equal length. During this time, everything is supposed to be in perfect balance. Statements like I don't believe it, or It can't be true, were heard until Mrs. Janie Johnson removed all doubt by standing the first egg up. The eggs proved to be a most interesting lesson for the students along with a well 14 Remember When
