HOMECOMING MEANS FOOTBALL FERVOR, FRIENDS AND FESTIVITIES Though every homecoming week had the same “game plan and shared similarities, each was different in the players, participants, pep rallies and school spirit which always escalated with each passing day. School regula¬ tions did not allow hats on and the wearing of “shades” so when Monday was declared “hat and shade day, many enjoyed the special dispensation Tuesday was role-rever¬ sal day. Students who had signed up to teach certain classes enjoyed playing “teacher for a day On Wednes¬ day — the schedule of events was bursting at the seams” with the homecoming parade down Main street after school. Remember this is the year the Marching Eagles Band got to ride! Then a carnival was held in the gym with over twenty games and activities sponsored by the classes and clubs to raise money. As dusk descended, the bonfire flared up against the sky as cheerleaders and witnesses watched the burning of the Statesman effigy (3). The next day, students appeared for “backwards day” with their clothes on the wrong way — which did present a few prob¬ lems for some. Friday, green and gold day finally arrived when everyone was to wear school colors. Mrs R Jones homeroom won for having the most participation. A rousing pep rally with a tag football game between Junior and Se¬ nior girls ended with the Juniors winning. High spirits spilled over to the big night as the Eagles trampled the Randolph- Henry Statesmen with a 20-17 win. Betsy Byers, who had been crowned Queen at half time and Cordelia Carpenter, Maid of Honor, and all of the attendants and friends cele¬ brated the victory at the Homecoming dance David Roberts and Melissa Person named Mr. and Miss Sweetheart in Valentine Contest David Roberts and Melissa Person from Mrs. Manson ' s homeroom were the big money-raisers.
