omecoming: T e place to b omecoming night of September 25 was a beautiful night for fun and vic- tory. The Homecoming contest was against the Tech Titans. A Continental victory was se- cured by halftime. Junior running back Mi- chael Covington scored rushing touchdowns of one and five yards in the first half. Tony Maxwell added the extra points as Washing- ton blanked the Titans 14-O. The win left Washington with a 2-3 record. The halftime lead had the crowd worked up and ready for the Homecoming festivities. The procession of cars came one by one to the center of the track in front of the stands and delivered the princesses: freshman Jen- nifer Humphrey, sophomore Cindy Dishman, and junior Melanie Hillman. Their princes were freshman Tyrone Winston, sophomore Ron Sidwell, and junior Donald White. A sleek town car next rolled up to bring the senior princesses to their waiting princes. Carol Combs, Shenia Footman, Missy Koup, Cathy Pitcock, and Cathy Robinson were es- corted by Harold Adams, Joe Bledsoe, Eric Gude, Dallen Hedges, and Ed White to the edge of the field for the traditional crowning ceremony. Ed White was named King, while, for the first time ever, two Queens were crowned: Shenia Footman and Missy Koup. After the ceremony, the couples went to their cars for the classy motorcade around the field. Floats sponsored by the COE, the Band, Freedoms Foundation, the Student Council, and the Boys' and Girls Swim teams followed. Their bright decorations and enthusiastic participants added to the fun of the night. Suddenly the lights were extinguished, and fireworks exploded. The fireworks were terrific. The favorites were the big purple and gold starbursts and the traditional GWHS sign. They seem to get more beautiful and louder every year! Homecoming, 1987, was another success- ful endeavor for all Continentals-for those who contributed and for those who came to George's Place. -Lisa Phillips p fi. 1, in '- vs ' +I I i x A. 5' 1 Homecoming 7
