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.

A Pep Rally. On Friday, Whirlies gathered in the auditorium to raise voices and hands in unity. This showing of spirit was one of the best during the year, unit- ing all in undaunted enthusi- asm. Football saw another loss to that cross-city team, yet this year the score was not indicative of the close- ness of the game. Near half-time the Whirlies actually led the Pirates by a touchdown, and the unity which surged through the stands was a rousing showing of Whirlie power. There was to be an equality though: in basketball we took them twice. The first meeting on the court resulted in a victory for GHS, and a stunning defeat for the Pirates, it was their largest marginal loss to any team in four years. The second meet- ing, also victorious for the G, was one which came down to the wire as Scottie Arant scored the winning bas- ket with less than 30 seconds of play remaining. The Whirlies took Page again 56 to 55. The Lady Whirlies added to the list of Page defeats by winning 2 games of 3, including a vic- tory which brought the Little 4 Cham- pionship home for the 2nd year. Of course there were other Page matches and meets and games. None were so well attended as football and basketball, yet none any less impor- tant. In any competition, Page was the team to beat, at least in terms of rivalry. But for the record, two win- ning basketball games against one football loss that comes out to 2 to 1 in the Whirlies' favor. Don't call us, we'll call you. Whirlie word for the year was Pagebusting. This car was pho- tographed on Friday before the game. Whirlies did bust the Pi- rates twice, but it was during basketball season, not foot- ball, that our victories came. , A Those Page Pirates Back to Alma Pinnix Drive ln any sport, victory or loss, Page Pirates remain the Whirlies' rivals. Year after yean season after season, Page game after Page game, red meat was dead meat: the tip was always to sink the ship,' we were Pagebusters whose only wish was to slime Page. I, A Whirlie line-up. Students and maintenance employees pose for a line-up of Whirlie Pagebus- ters. The t-shirts modeled were sold before the game for S5, and were a huge success. Out of play.
