Time For Creating Memorie: lays of instruction due to mechanical failure of a copying machine. Several classes of students might share one teacher or even a classroom, but we never had to stand in line at the school cafeteria - there was none. So, we brown-bagged it. Just as today, there were country kids and town kids - smart kids and those who had to dig to learn. There were kids who worked hard and completed eleven grades and graduated. There were those who worked hard, but due to family cir- cumstances, had to drop out. Then there were those, as now, who just dropped out. As I sat and watched the students walk by, the football teams file on the field, the cheerleaders jump and heard the bands play and the crowd shout, a quick thought of the future passed through my mind. 1 suddenly realized that whether Seniors of '36 or Seniors of '87, we all share one thing in common - MEMORIES. Memories of school days at GHS, football games, test days, friendships, slumber parties, teachers, spelling bees, gold stars, the senior prom and graduation day, and now a new, and perhaps the best memory of all - Homecoming '86, which was attended by 23 of the 48 members of my 1936 graduating class. I had the pleasure of being the typist for the FIRST TAOG. Thanks dear ole GHS for the contribution you have made to the lives of students through the years. Thanks for the memories we all share Marvis Engram Sherrod Class of 1936 0 P Homecoming

It's Story Time It may have looked like a college bowl parade with the extravagant floats, but it was really just the Groesbeck Homecoming parade. Two weeks before the parade, room mothers, cheerleaders, football players, and various other members of the surrounding community began preparing for the activities that accompany Homecoming. The parade was almost a mile long and involved about 40 entries. The theme of the parade was “Storybook Characters Come to Homecoming. High school entries included a float from each class, three convertibles with the football sweetheart and nominees. Rather than the annual sweetheart float, the sweetheart and nominees and escorts rode in convertibles. Goldilocks and the Three Bears was the chosen storybook for the junior class float which placed second in school float competition. Tami Ussery completed the Cinderella float prepared by the senior room mothers and sponsors. It placed fourth in its division. Homecoming
