Uctober 11, 1985 October 11, 1985, was not normal. The usual sleepiness re- placed by boredom after lunch did not exist. Instead, a different smell, feel, and atmosphere sur- rounded every student and teacher at Glenn, It was Home- coming day. Drill team mem- bers, cheerleaders and athletes dressed in uniform to add to the general spirit in the air. Said ju- nior Melissa Anderson, You could feel the excitement when you walked in the school. Every- one seemed really pepped up for everything that was getting ready to take place. In preparation for the big game and ceremony, two pep rallies were held during 5th and 6th periods, one for the lower classes and one for the upper- classmen. With the band, cheer- leaders, drill team, and the boosting of Mr. Clarke, the whole auditorium rocked with Student Life the chants of Rah! Rah! Rah- Rah-Rah! When 6:00 arrived the after- noon spirit was still alive and kicking. Parents and students jammed onto the soccer field to witness the corvettes and court members as they entered to be- gin the ceremony. After a pre- cise and intricate display by the JROTC Fancy Drill team, the moment had arrived to choose Homecoming Queen and Maid of Honor. In one breathtaking moment, Dena Morgan was pro- nounced Queen and Juanetta Roberts as Maid of Honor. A caravan led by buses and fans created a seemingly endless trail of lights as the whole Bobcat crowd rode together to the Ea- gles nest. Upon arrival, Claude the Bobcat received a warm and special welcome as he was lowered to the field by the News 2 helicopter to mark the begin- ' -- J, --is .s Three Cheers for Homecoming! Excitement stirs as Mr. Clarke helps the cheerleaders boost the Homecoming spirit. Catch the Beat! Without the rhythm provided by Bobby Sharp and Sean Farrow, The 1985 Homecoming would not be the complete. ning of the game. Winning the Homecoming football game was the icing on the cake, the perfect and the ex- citement of the first Homecom- ing. The Homecoming dance quietly and romantically closed this awesome day. Through all the confusion and fun, what was the most outstanding aspect? Said Junior Terry Grayson, I have to say winning the game was the best part. l was nervous about it all day, and when we won, it made my day perfect. Homecoming day represent- ed a spirit, an aura, unique to a day as special as October 11, 1985. Even though it faded away with the notes of the last dance, that Homecoming spirit still lives in the memories of ev- eryone who stood back and watched the Bobcats that even- ing in awe. .

A rt Undiscovered Art Represents Une Of The Highest Levels Of Creativity In Society. What is art? Art is more than a painting or a sculpture. lt is anything and everything. Art sets moods, brings out emotions, makes you more aware. Art is beauty, and everything is beauti- ful. This description of art by Te- resa Wiles is an artists look at everyday objects. Art can be buildings, lines, shapes, and shadows, not merely paint on canvas. By looking at a detailed painting and saying I can't draw , students are missing the biggest emphasis of art - ex- pression. Said Mr. El-Amin, The unique self-expressions of students could be defined as an art form. Art represents one of the highest levels of creativity in society. Bobby Jones also comment- ed, Paintings and pictures are not all that is art. Contrast, lines, shapes, and shadows are also art. Expressing your thoughts on a type of solid matter, like can- vas, is an art, also, because peo- ple themselves are art. Art is a lot of things, but it is not restrictive. Self expression or expression of nature are ex- quisite expressions of hidden tal- ent or a rare beauty. What is art? Art is yourself. Beauty ln A Beast, Displaying the evidence of her artistic ability, senior Teresa Wiles props up a painting of Beowulti'. Just Another Brick ln The Wall, By looking through an artist eyes, a plain brick building can become worlds of lines, shadows, and illusions. Student Life l The Shining! A sparkling representation of the pride of Glenn High, the Bobcat, perfectly painted by Richard Hedgecock, looks upward from his home on the basketball court. m...,....x ,EMW
