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

Vaudeville tonight! Cow Patti comic hit E verything from a card girl to whacky, slapstick jokes were included in the , vaudeville theme of the 15th Annual Patriots on Pa- rade. Aside from comedy, oth- er types of entertainment such as singing and dancing made up the all-school tal- ent show. The Liberty Belles, Sons of Liberty, Marshal- laires, and The Notes of Free- dom performed a variety of musical numbers choreo- graphed by Alumni Ron Morgan. Other acts consisted of tap, disco, and belly dancing and a live perfor- mance by Delta, a band that consists of our own Mar- shall students. Providing special lighting effects were the Marshall stage crew members who also built a ramp surrounded by run-way lights for the solo- ists. The show was well received. The crowds especially en- joyed the silhouetted story of Cow Patti , narrated by Ken Elliott. Although the students performed and handled the stage development, they couldn ' t have done it without the patient assistance of Paul Justice, Jan Eberle, and Cindy F. Smith, the direc- torial staff, by Chico Schaffer Lisa Murphy Photos — Trahan, Petti- john Hann Narrator Ken Elliott tells the sad story of heroic Cow Patti. Senior Dana Creek entertains with the ballad Bless the Beasts and the Chil- dren . The flasher who sent even the Italian opera singer screaming turned out to be a giant poster of Principal Haynes!
