Homecoming Rich With Homecoming week at Broome High School abounds in traditions and Homecoming 81. The Rainbow Connection,” was certainly no exception. Spirit chain sales began on Mon- day and continued throughout the week. The charge for each link was 10c and the links were color coded according to class: white for sophomores, gold for juniors, and blue for seniors. The winner was declared at the pep rally on Friday. Tuesday was dress-up day and all interest- ed students were given the chance to display their finest at- tire. Costume day followed on Wednesday. Many students chose to dress as muppets in keeping with the Homecoming theme. Others did not stick to any particular theme in choos- ing a costume, as Dumbo the elephant, punk rockers, astro- nauts, French Chefs, Hawaiian tourists, clowns, fishermen, and mice all crowded into Broome's hallways. Contests were held during both first and second lunches to choose the most outstanding costumes. Mrs. Green, Mrs. Loadholdt, and Mr. Bailey voted Stephone Littlejohn, who posed as a cool dude , and Julie Fos- ter, who came as Raggedy Ann, as the winners of the first lunch contest.

Seniors Uphold Tradition Though the theme for Home- coming was The Rainbow Con- nection, rainbows were the last thing on the minds of the two opposing teams as Powder Puff 81 got underway. The seniors started the action with a first quarter touchdown pass from quarterback Sharon Sullivan to Debra Gilree. This score did not go unanswered by the under- classmen, however, as quarter- back Angela Johnson found sophomore Tonya Wilkins in the end zone to tie the score at 6-6 going into halftime. The highlight of halftime was the presentation of the candi- dates for Homecoming King. Bu- ford Smith was crowned king, with Tony Martin and Olin Mintz as runners-up. Knowing that a senior team had never lost a Powder Puff game in the history of Broome High School, the senior girls came out of halftime with fire in their eyes and winning on their minds. Amidst the cheerleaders rousing chants of Go Ba- nanas! the senior girls proceed- ed to dominate second half play. Quarterback Sharon Sulli- van threw two successive touchdown passes to Iris Russell, with extra points being scored by Sharon Sullivan and Deneen Fowler. As the horn signaled the end of Powder Puff 81 , the seniors had won 22-6. Though battered and bruised, they went home happy knowing that they had preserved Broome High tradition. Buford Smith strikes a dashing pose as he is crowned 1981 Homecoming King. He was sponsored by senior Iris Russell. The senior cheerleaders look gorgeous as they run across the field after talking with the underclass cheerleaders. 16 Socializing
