I If KELLY FURGERSON MISS SUSAN WISEMAN JAMES RAY MISS PATRICIA PERRY JOHN BORDEN School Spirit Reaches Height for Homecoming Events Sparks of flame leaping into the air, sparks of enthusi- asm sweeping the crowd — and the bonfire for Home- coming ’66 kicked oflF festivities of the busy week-end (opposite page, center). At the end of the pep session, and in keeping with tradition. Senior football players threw their victory crosses into the fire with cheerleaders stirring the students to rousing shouts. Friday afternoon saw a special Homecoming parade, featuring white convertibles graced by the five Homecoming queen candidates. New to the parade was a special Honda unit (opposite page) with about forty riders. At 8 P.M., the big Homecoming game got under way as GW battled Newport News. Exhibiting one of the magnificant plays which led the GW Cardinals to victory, Maynard Reynolds (opposite, bottom left) snatched a flying pass from an opponent. Squeals of excite- ment cut the tense silence during half-time activities at the game as Leslie Waugh (Kelly Furgerson, escort) (center) was named Homecoming Queen XXLX. Her court was comprised of Susan Wiseman, (Jimmy Ray, escort) first attendant, Becky Scott, (Jerry Marsella, escort) second attendant, Beth Farley, (Bob Feldman, escort) first runner- up and Pat Perry, (John Borden, escort) second runner-up. Winding up the festive homecoming activities was the dance on Saturday night. Bobby Echols, Monogram Club president, crowned the queen and so began the gaiety of the dance, only to end too soon. 23

Doors open to new paths of learning as students re- turned for the 1966-1967 session and began their new courses. While the student body settled down to studying once again, Mrs. Celia Dishman (bottom left) was kept busy filling teachers’ bo.xes with seemingly endless notes, pamphlets, and other “useful” information connected with organizing for the new session. As leaves changed from green to gold, thoughts of pop- corn, candied apples and ferris wheels darted through the minds of GWites. Throngs of students milled along the massive midway of the Danville Fair, (top right) Seniors showed their talent as the performance of “The Man Who Came to Dinner” (bottom right) was presented. Pete Hilliard (as Sheridan WTiitside, the imposing visitor), Jerry Marsella and Janet Rowland displayed their talents as students “rolled in the aisles.”
