A streak of lightning flashed across the sky as sleepy-eyed band members practiced their halftime routine for the evening's game. The wind whistled through the wooden stands as all eyes turned toward the sky. A tornado, spot- ted south of the ball field, sent everyone running to their cars for shelter. 'Not a thing was dry! I had to go home and take a ton of antibiotics.- said Cheryl Cunningham who had driven her jeep into town with the top down that day. At the school juniors were busily sorting their mums to be delivered when the tornado whistle pierced the air. Students were rushed into the gym locker rooms. Mary Claborn made a quick trip home to close all the win- dows that had been left open. I just didn't want to have to clean up the mess,' explained Mary. Only minutes later the rain stopped and the sun was shining. Mum deliveries were resumed without delay, except for Kaylene Young and Jeanna Loftus who sat at the Mini Mart while they waited for the gas pumps to be turned on. 'What else could we do?' said jean- na. 'We were out of gas!' The sun was still shining as the annual parade festivities began with colorful floats modeled after the theme of 'Oklahoma's 75th.' Perhaps the highlight of the afternoon was the pep assembly held before school was let out for the day. All of the students were in class when loud yells and cheers echoed through the halls. Mothers dressed in orange and black began pulling pupils out of their seats, forming a chain of excited fans. They then led everyone into the gymnasium where cheers that were popular in the 50's were presented. The high school cheerleaders took over the pep assembly and with the pep band playing the school song, another day of Homecoming festivities was history. Run for Cover LOTS Of HOT AIR.

Night to Remember There is one night in the entire year that everyone loves. It has everything to do with lights, a shiny crown, flowers, dates, crowds, and football. The special night is fittingly entitled Homecoming. While the band played 'Looking Through the Eyes of Love’ the Queen candidates were driven onto the field to officially start the evening. Sophomore Kris Schroeder, lunior Judy Unruh and Senior Ann lanzen on the back of a cherry red convertible while team cap- tains Terrell Barkett, Tim Tucker, and kissing captain Casey Reed met them in an orange jeep by Chris England. After proper introductions, the suspensful moment arrived and Ann lanzen was crowned Queen. 'I was sur- prised! I think it was one of the most KISS AND TELL. Ready to crown the queen, cap- tains Terrell Barkett, Casey Reed. Tim Tucker, and Chris England enter onto the field MOUNDS OF MUMS, luniors Mary Claborn and Tammy Boulware attempt to sort out the countless homecoming mums TRUCK FULL OF FANS. Booster Club members, with help from students, filled the back of a truck, and enthusiastically yelled in the parade special moments of my life’ commented Ann Finally the game was under way. The crowd witnessed a bout of sweat, yells, good plays, and hard runs When half time came around the jackets were leading by one point 'We were really psyched out for the game, knowing that Cordell was ranked number one in the state. We're glad we played them in- stead of some rinky dink team,' re- marked Perry lohnson. Nevertheless, the game ended 13-21, a victory for Cordell. Casey Reed sum- med the whole battle up when he said, The saddest part is knowing we went to districts and to the state playoffs but we never have helped win a Home- coming.' 14 Homecoming
