Activities of Aggie Action Week Highlight The 1970 Homecoming Week surpassed any in Tate’s history. Sponsored by the Student Council, this week was planned far in advance with much consideration. There were daily activities which involved both the student body and the faculty. On Monday there was a girl’s mud tug-a-war with twelve girls on each side. This contest really showed the strength of these girls. Bicycle races were held Tuesday during the breaks. This was also Sweat Shirt Day. The student body really enjoyed the musical ice- buckets on Wednesday, which were held during all breaks. The faculty was really great on Tacky Faculty Day. Mrs. Bussell and Mr. Jordan were outstanding for their tacky clothes. Aggie Action Night was held in Aggie Stadium that night. There were boy cheerleaders, skits, V.W. races on the track between Interact and Exchange and a fire show by the majorettes. Friday featured a pep rally during school and the homecoming ceremonies that night. After the game a Homecoming Dance was held with the fabulous Phatons playing. Above: The Phatons’s sound rocked from one side of the gym to the other while interested spectators observed the activities on stage. Right: Aggies did “Hang 'em High” at the Tate vs Walton Home- coming game. Below: Lisa Williams and other Freshmen participate in “musical ice-buckets”.

1970 Homecoming Court Elected The week long activities of Homecoming Week began with the elections of the 1970 Homecoming Court. The senior class elected three attendants, and the under- classmen elected one to represent each grade. The student body then elected one of the three senior at- tendants to be the 1970 Homecoming Queen. The attendants were presented during the Home- coming ceremonies. The ceremonies, held before the Walton—Tate football game, reached its peak when the Student Council President, David Franklin, announced Debra Smith as the 1970 Homecoming Queen. Debra was crowned by the 1969 Queen, Sue Baggette, and was pre- sented a dozen red roses by R. L. Godwin, Principal of Tate. Through her tears of excitement, Debra thanked the student body with the wish that everyone could share her moment of happiness. Right: Debra Smith and her escort, Miller Stallworth, are shown after the Homecoming ceremonies. Above (Left to Right): The attendants in the Homecoming Court were Melvin Malley and Signora McCartry (9th), Barry Summerlin and Charlene Wheeler (12th), Bobby Bradley and Patsy Bryant (12th), Debra Smith and Miller Stallworth (12th), Cindy Curley and Jimmy Smith (10th), and Kay Harmon and Ronnie Johnson (11th). 28
