Imagine October 3-8, IMAGINE a night that was filled with enthusiasm. That was homecoming night. The week before the dance was the most active. First there were hall decorations and spirited people. The football game was a success, 21-0. The dance was absolutely a fantasy. The court was a dignified one. Freshmen representatives were Derick Byrd and Jessica Hallberg. Sophomore representatives were Joby Coakley, Eric Trout, Paige Perkins, and Tanglea 10 pel OPENING 1988 Wallace. Juniors were Kimber Richardson, Princess, Tyler Scott, Laura Reeder, Shawn Williams, Prince, Mark Thor- sted, and Stephen Mann. The mighty seniors were proud to present Andy Withers, Mary Sledd Shelhorse, Eric Armstead, Molly Tully, Glen Lanford, Tonya Bundy, Larry Trout, Libbie Farmer, King Darrell Durante, and Queen Tammie Coghill. The evening was what many imagined. The varsity cheerleaders entertained the crowds by dancing with the “football players.” Attempt- ing to keep their outfits on was more entertain- ing than the dancing. Coach Rich Serbay and Coach Mike Roadcap are sure of victory against the Knights. The winning spirit was seen on the faces of teammates and coaches alike. Cheerleader Vicky Fink, junior, drops the candy for the football player. This was one of our many pep rallies. Junior Warren Lewis and Senior Marcus Beale listen intently to the referee’s explanation of the call. Despite all calls against the Jackets, they defeated Spotsylvania 21-0.
