Hold it steady. Robin Sheldon balances precariously on her ladder as she stretch- es high to get the decorations just right on the morning before the GHS Homecoming dance. A Rhinestone cowgirl? Keri Orrell shocked and shone on Homecoming evening. Her bedazzled mini-dress stirred up quite a lot of conversation, but Keri was confident of her vogue dress and matching accesso- ries. No Ordinary Joe. Coach Joe Franks and his wife man the coat room at the Homecom- ing dance. Other faculty members helped chaperone the dance, extending their tal- ents from classroom to dancefloor. Taking a load off. Senior class president Kevin Gilchrist and sophomore class presi- dent Chris Ingram take a break with Home- coming Maid of Honor Denise Ford. Tables were set up around the dance floor for cou- ples who wished to take a load off. Magic Moments. Elizabeth Britt enjoys Homecoming night in the arms of Jeff Wulf- horst. Couples enjoyed fun, fellowship, food, and music on an evening which comes once a year, and has so many magic moments. Time stands still. Billy Fuller and Jenny Ma- con share a slow dance to their favorite song. D.J.'s played a significant number of slow songs, making the evening more spe- cial and more romantic for attending cou- ples. Getting it off the ground, YRC members Robin Sheldon, Carrie Milgrim, and Allison Porter set up and prepare for the dance so it will be an evening of perfection. The dance was held in the transformed auxil- iary gym.

lllllllD Wflliilllllslllilllio WED lllZvlIE5lllQlllDlINIl1lE1? Dreams begin where rainbows end . . . Newly crowned queen Lori Singer dances with her escort Greg Burzell as the court share a special dance to Up Where We-Be- Iong. Lori was crowned during half-time the night before. A Cool One. Homecoming queen Lori Sing- er and her date Jeff Sural take time out from the festivities to enjoy a coke and a smile before returning to the crowded dance floor and the booming music. We came home to a newly land- scaped campus, to the buildings which were the symbol of Grimsley. ln return- ing we found that our principal was engaged, and that we had a new foot- ball coach. There were new faces of sophomores and a new season for the boys soccer team. Buses still drove the same routes and people parked where they had always parked. Indian summer stretched before us infinitely, it seemed, with only one ephemeral cold snap in early October. The weather turned finally around the 1st of November, just in time for our tradi- tion of homecoming. We lost our homecoming game, which was NOT played in the rain. Alumni returned from state colleges to join our celebra- tiong Tamera Majors was on hand to crown Lori Singer as the 84-85 home- coming queen. Our dance was held on November 3, a Saturday, and the turn- out was great as Whlrlies joined the festivities of returning to Grimsley and being up where we belonged. Stepping in. Chris Tatum and Sheri Toler step through the doorway and into the mag- ic that was Homecoming 1 984. All GHS stu- dents enjoyed being being atop the world during a night of special celebration. Stepping off a cloud. Being up where we belong can be a little intoxicating, so cou- ples like Scott Jones and his date take time to step off the cloud and come down to earth for some refreshments downstairs in the auxiliary gym.
