Our glowing pride set this Homecoming apart from all the others as we wound our way to the bonfire, where unity was ignited along with the flames. Although Homecoming ended with the dance, the unity did not. A bond, formed amid all the hustle of the celebration, united the four classes. Finally the student body had joined forces and worked as a team. Homecoming changed more than a week of school, for the spirit we discovered made a lasting impression on the rest of the year.

It all looked so easy during the come-from-bchind Homecoming win, when a victory in a championship game was obviously won, or in the opening number of the spring musical. But precision took hours of grueling practices in the hot summer sun, at camps, during class, and after school. After enough repetition, staying in step wasn't quite as difficult, and the latest editions of four choirs, three cheering squads, the band, majorettes and color guard were unveiled. Adding the blue and gold to the sidelines, the cheerleaders combined precision and gymnastics in their routines. This won the varsity squad the top honors at the Golden Eagle Cheerleading Camp held during the summer, as well as the reputation as an attractive, talented and well-drilled group. Led by Head Cheerleader Lisa Boyles, senior, the varsity squad consisted of Teresa Hefferin and Debi Shelton, seniors, and Kara Harman, Kristal Currey, Leah Rogers, and Lorie Hammon, juniors.
