TRIUMPHANT SMIRKS come along with the Homecoming award given to Senior Class President Kirk Priddy by Student Council President, Senior Randy Patzkowski as Superintendent, Dr. Dewayne Colvin, expresses his approval. Homecoming ot weather and high humidity seeped through the open doors and windows of the school and one by one posters, balloons, and streamers dropped to the floor of the hall. Thursday morning found many hurrying franti- cally to repair work before the judges came to review the Homecoming decorations. The preceding four days had been no less frantic than the final hours of the competition, yet each class had a few faithful workers who had labored night and day and now waited ner- vously for the results of the judging. In fact, this time each year seems to find the faithful tyring TO THE BEAT of drummer Sandy Stepp, Dedra Meador and the crowd cheer for their team at the Homecoming pep rally. The rally took the place of the bonfire since fire codes banned all burning because of the summer long drouth. to push their class to the top of the Homecom- ing heap. Like a glorified game of King of the Moun- tain the Homecoming contests put class against class in competition for the best hall decorations, best float, and best attendance at the Thursday night pep rally. In recent years the competition between classes has been building. This year was no exception with the contests as hot as the mid-September weather. However, more students seem to be tiring of the decisiveness of these competitions, Kay Vogt, pep club vice-president, stated that, Fighting between the classes during Home- coming affects, or breaks up, the school spirit throughout the rest of the year, and a growing number of students seem to agree with her. When the Thursday morning tension was fi- nally over Friday night, Seniors had come out on top. With the Sophomores, Juniors, and Freshmen taking the other three places, the school began to return to normal. Any decora- tions that had not fallen down because of the heat, were taken down, floats were torn apart, and once again, the walls separating class from class also began to crumble. 13 Homecoming
