TIME goes by began almost as soon as the school year did, with students from all classes working on the spirit and float committees. Each class began its own float, and as the day of the game drew nearer, such final touches as the glowing drag- on’s eyes and the spinning propeller had to be hurriedly completed. The judging of the floats began at 5:30, but the real show was at half time. The theme ‘‘As Time Goes By” was vividly expressed in all of the floats, ranging from the freshmen’s prehistoric cave to the seniors’ futuristic rocket. The sophomores’ me- dieval dragon came in first, followed by the juniors’ sym- bol of the roaring 20’s, an air- plane. After the floats came one of the most important events of the week, the announcing of the homecoming queen. As their names were called, each member of the court stepped forward with her escort: freshmen Robin Jones and reparations for the first homecoming Jill Johnson; Jenny Pope and Laura Piper of the sophomore class; juniors Jen Liner and Nicole Clontz; the senior class court of Julie Choice, Vi- vienne Choice and Andrea Joslyn. Hundreds of red, white, and blue balloons were released as Andrea Joslyn was announced queen. The game itself was also a part of history, being the first game we won as Science and Tech. Colonials defeated the Greenbriar Gators 28 to 14, making a spectacular ending to a spirited week. The win put everyone in a good mood for the dance the next night.
