Halftime activities were welcomed just as much as our 14-6 edge over the opposing team. There were many questions running through the minds of court members and spectators. Each of the seven senior members knew that only one 14 Homecoming of them would be named the next queen; however all were winners in our eyes. The crowds hushed and the announcement was made Miss Bonnie Wright was crowned’ the new queen. “I lost all touch with reality, it was a dream come true,” commented Bonnie. Momentarily the announcement of Mr. Football was made. Clifton Coger was chosen because of his outstanding contribution to the team’s record, his performance, and most of all his support given to oth- ers. Together the noted and the un- noted winners made Franklin Coun- ty shine!

Paradise Junior-Senior Prom was a much looked forward to event that took endless hours of planning and much more to put the plans into effect. However the 1981-82 Prom is a well remembered one. There were well over 100 rolls of streamers used and ap- proximately 100 tickets sold. There was the leaky pool that flooded the gym floor and required two consecutive trips to Roa- noke, the fallin paper and the untimely misfortune of running out of paper. Even though there was much confusion and delay it was the first prom for many years to be finished on Thursday night rather than Saturday morning. Funds for the Prom were provided through the Ju- nior class talent show. All of this was made possible through the guidance of- fice, Mr. William Cleve- land and Miss Rebecca Counts. Food was pre- pared by Mrs. Pace, the of- ficers, cafeteria workers, and various other helpful faculty members. There was a sunset painting by Frankie Hodges, which was also the picture repre- senting the theme. May 1 proved to be an un- forgettable evening for those attending the Prom. The gymnasium was filled with Tiki-Gods and can- dles, bamboo huts, the echo of splashing water from the fountain, and lots of love. Truly a “Tropical Paradise.”’ The theme song was “Open Arms” by Journey. The band was Odyssey and the night was a suc- CSS. Dressed to a tee, Richard Board and Barbara LaFranko make a perfect match. First comes dining and then win- ing for Carolyn Adkins and Ray Clayborne. After a few rounds of Hawaiian punch, Terry Oakes and Sally Beth Scott debate that first dance. Reminiscing about the night’s events is Glenn McCrickard. 16 Prom
