FALL CGLGRS GRIP GRIMSLEY Going back to school . . . pep rallies . . . Page-Grimsley Games . . . Homecoming . . . colder days - all these were a part of the fall season at GHS. Each of the students at Grimsley experienced these activities with different reactions and feelings. They were great times - full of fun and spirit, but they sure did not last long! Before we knew it, it was already almost winter. The beginning of school was a long time ago - in fact most people could not even remember it by October, Colored leaves showered the Grimsley campus. These were the days of fallg and the scarlet golden hues reflected in people's ruddy cheeks and breathless expressions. The season was short in retrospect and before long the trees were without adornment and the Whirlies began the age- old prediction of snow. Fall had always been the season at the G, but never more so as in the vibrant days of 1983. Fall 17

How 'bout them Whirlies - Whirlie spiriters spread the news through word of mouth. I-IOMECOMING DANCE A GREAT WRAP UP FOR FALL Out of sightl Admiring couples watch and wonder at Up, up and away - climbs Michele Martorano as the courts solo dance she helps secure the wispy streamers in place. Homecoming, the word in itself suggests the return to something comfortableg a nat- ural warmth - the return home. Perhaps Grimsley was not our true home, but it was certainly our home away from home. So, the fall season represents our return to Grimsley Senior Highg and the event which represents best this return, is Homecoming week and the dance. A court was chosen which personified the superlative girls of the schoolg the ones who had served Grims- ley best in their last 3 years. A spirit week preceded the Homecoming game and the entire event culminated in a dance. For all, the Homecoming celebration revived the pride and love in the school. lnitially then that explains Homecoming except that the past year was a little di- verse in its' planning and in its' happening. First of all rain once again peppered the crowd, the court, and of course the playersg but that is to be expected. The dance was held for the first time on a Saturday night instead of immediately following the game. Tamera Majors was crowned Homecoming Queen with Kay Miller and Pam Utter as her maids of honor. The dance was a huge success even though an improvised treasure hunt was staged by Mr. Crowell as he fran- tically searched for the key to the coat room which was misplaced. Homecoming was certainly a time to be remembered for the tearful rejoicing and the bubbling laugh- ter. Homecoming Dance 19
