time to sit down before his pic- files in front of the camera. 6 Classic JAMES RAY SMITH hardly has ture is shot and the next student Many traditional events IC; anticipated, remembered By Renee Ross Some things never change — homework, school pic- tures, letter jackets, talking in the hall, senior themes, tar- dies, sleeping in class, cafeteria food, pep rallies, and outside reading books. As time passes, things change and most of the time that’s all for the best. But there are some important high school memory-makers that will always be classics. School pictures, for example: “They usually don’t look like me, but most of the time they’re O.K.,” said Lamarcus Hicks. Another tradition that con- tinues to excite is the letter jacket. That proud piece of new leather can make a dif- ference to an athlete, voca- tional worker, band student and extra-curricular student. “IT was real excited about “OH MY GOSH! Look at my pictures!’’ getting my jacket,” said Tina Bryan, “I am real proud of ite” These objects might become extinct in later years, but there is one distinctive part of high school that will never change and will always be remembered — the ex- quisite cuisine of the cafeteria. The first thing that comes to mind when entering the cafeteria is what should I eat, and why am I eating this? “It’s better than eating a Snickers,” said Terry Nicholas. Educational traditions come and go with new trends or legislation. But some school things never change. These classic items are what you fantasize about before you get to high school and remember long often you’ve graduated. Blake Blakewell junior, stares at his school pictures which everyone thinks don’t look a bit like them. Still, many buy them and trade with friends. Lo phiet B ct Vai nl Bae bie isi: »

Festivities highlight fa f : ’ oming Home 85 sophomores; and Tammy Morris and Amy Willard, freshmen. Their escorts for the night were Brent Beauchamp, Dodd Dorsey, Jay Guin, Mike Hardwick, Tim Vandegriff, Eric McGee, Kevin Pace, Craig Robbins, Michael Wilhite and Barry Willard. Last year’s homecoming queen, Tangela Gates, also attended to crown the new queen. Preparing for this evening wasn’t all fun and games for the girls. One problem they had to face was choosing their escorts. A few easily chose their brothers. Two of the duchesses chose their brothers to escort them. “It seemed more special with my brother escorting me,” said Amy. These small problems gave way to the excitement and curiosity of the evening’s main question of who would become Homecoming Queen. The suspense ended when Sheri was crowned Home- coming Queen. She was presented with a dozen roses and a little kiss from her escort. “I couldn’t believe this happened,” she said. Coming Home ‘85 was a special night to remember. After the mums had been hung on the wall, pictures framed and new outfits now worn for dress clothes, the glitter and excitement of that classic event becomes only a memory until next fall.
