Quality Not Quantity Accounts for 10-6 Record We really proved that the old saying it is quality and not quantity that counts is true. Our team of eight often faced other teams with as many as fifteen to twenty players. Yet, we made some fine perform- ances and finished with a 10-6 record. It was often a scary feeling realizing the odds we were against, but it developed a determination, a sense of responsibility, a feeling of if we don ' t do it, it won ' t be done. It was this attitude that made work- ing with the Girl ' s JV basketball team such a rewarding experience. Coach Sharon Wood JoAnn Weddle, Yvette Boyd, Wanda Manning, Amanda Perdue, Teresa Tolbert, Coach Sharon Wood, Christy East, Mary Sewell and Anita Conner, Co- Captains. 7

Team Captures Third in Tournament Holding the game ball aloft. Coach Mills and girls are proud of their Victory. Im £m i J li t W fv ■ JfeMg ■ Ti Happy and excited, everyone celebrates the 1 point victory in last 5 seconds of game. It took a lot of time, effort and de- termination for the girl ' s basketball team to obtain the opportunity to prove ourselves as one of the top three teams in the New River District. As we defeated Narrows the first night of the tournament, we realized how far we had come and how much farther we could go. After a hard fought battle the second night, Blacksburg stood in our way of Reg- ional when we were defeated by only four points. The third and final night, we faced Christiansburg determined not to give up. We played hard and came away with a one point Victory and third place. I am proud to have been a part of this fine team. Kathy Quesenberry Showing exceptional jumping ability, Kim O ' Donnell adds 2 points to scoreboard in final game. 6

Spirit Week Kicks Off Homecoming Homecoming was a special success. A new way for students to show their Buffalo spirit was to participate in Spirit Week. For the week proceeding Home- coming, students and faculty at- tired themselves according to what day it was. For example, Monday was jeans and tee-shirt day. Tuesday was sock-day, each student tried to wear the most unusual socks. On button day everyone wore their Buf- falo buttons. Thursday was dress-up day in which students wore the most unusual outfits they could find. Spirit Week ended with Friday, black and gold day. Everyone was asked to wear black and gold to show their support for the team. Also on Friday, the gym was decorated for the Homecoming sock-hop. As is traditional, each class competed for the best deco- ration. First place went to Se- niors, second was the Sopho- mores and in third place was the Juniors. Saundra Lovitt ' s sock-day attire ex- tended slightly above her sock level. How spirit week would turn out was a little up in the air, but I thought it came out a flying success.
