But I ' ve given my dimes; Yes, now we want time! A. he dreaded home- coming season. Sure it ' s fun. with fireworks, homecom- ing queens and football suc- cesses that just won ' t quit. but you have to consider the floats. You start out with a trailer. A trailer? ' here are we going to get. a trailer? You fi- nally talk some unsuspect- ing parents into letting you use their trailer and garage. Then there ' s the problem of recruiting workers. Well, after you ' ve recruited workers, your hale list will have in- creased three-feet. Money. Do you know how hard it is to tell someone how desperately you need money, when you ' re down on your knees, grabbing their leg and pleading. The pennies add up, thankfully. As students smile and put coins During half lime at Homecoming, the Red Powder Puff team marches around the field. into your can, they ' re thinking, If this guy ask me for one more cent, 1 think I ' m going to shove the penny down his throat. You ' ve got the money for supplies. First, you need chicken wire. So what, your hand had to get seven stitches because the nice sales- man handed the wire to you the wrong way; don ' t give up! Next you need nap- kins. Two of your workers ex- plained the manager of Burger Chef told them bluntly to put every napkin back in the container before he broke every one of their fingers. You ' re losing your per- spective! I guarantee from here on, it ' s a piece of cake. So, the cake has five tacks hidden in it.

Presenting an elated Angie Chapman with a complimentary kiss, Mr. Haynes enjoys Homecoming festivities. After being crowned by last year ' s queen, Ju- lie VonBuig, Angie stands with her proud parents on the sidelines of the field. Combining the theme of a recent movie and nuclear weapons, the Junior float made a good showing in the annual float contest. With its disastrous theme of sinking of the Titanic, the Senior float claimed a hard earned victory in the float contest. Homecoming — It all happened so fast . w. eeks of prepara- tion and anticipation finally ended. The result — the 1981 John Marshall High School Homecoming had arrived. Fireworks, a sixth-rat- ed football team, floats, the JMHS Marching Band, and the senior girls nomi- nated for possible Homecom- ing Queen were the main attractions for the fans attend- ing this year ' s Homecom- ing. Preparation proved to be the key to a successful Homecoming. The Sen- iors ' winning float, with the theme Patriots won ' t panic, they ' ll sink the Titan- ic , got their help from many who put in much hard work and time. The Stu- dent Council provided the homecoming crowd with a vivid firework display at half- time, and the Marching Band blasted the crowd with many fight songs and pep. The week of Homecoming was probably the busiest time I can remember. The day ' s routine began with 7 a.m. Powder Puff Football Practice. After school I was consumed with cheerlead- ing practice, homework, and working on the winning Senior float. Finally that hectic week was over, and the big night was finally here. I wasn ' t real- ly nervous until I was get- ting ready to go to the car to leave for the JMHS Homecoming football game. All the candidates were Very nice to me, and they all looked so pretty. As half- time approached, we climbed into the Corvettes and were driven around the track. My father, looking so handsome, escorted me out of the car, and we joined my mother. My parents looked so proud as we walked to the center of the football field to join the other candidates. All of us candidates waited until the final moment when they announced The 1981-82 Homecoming Queen is ... it seemed like an eternity before my name was announced. It ' s hard to explain how I felt. All of it happened too fast to remember. I stood there — stunned, as my parents hugged me, and Mr. Haynes placed the crown on my head. The former queen, Julie VonBurg, present- ed my flowers to me and relinquished her crown to me. It was a night I will never forget. — Angie Chapman Homecoming 9
