Powder Puff Kicks Cff Homecoming Thespians display school spirit by presenting their float to the homecoming fans. Homecoming festivities got under way with the 1981 Powder Puff game on Tuesday, Cctober 13. One of the largest turnouts was recorded as the freshmen battled through a triple overtime game, proving victorious over the sophomores 28-21. In the following game the seniors lost to the juniors 21-O. Finally, the championship game between the juniors and freshmen resulted in a 14-O decision for the upperclassmen. After being entertained by JlNX, a band from Chicago, homecoming candidates awaited the election results at the coronation dance. Because of scantron errors and improper counting, a recount had to be called. ln order to keep a secret, I didn't think of mentioning another count, said Mrs. Linda Padilla, Student Council advisor. Queen Sharon Bell and her court continued their reign with the newly declared king, Tom Lackey. To conclude the week, the homecoming parade displayed our 8 Homecoming school colors and theme, Tigers In Athens. Of the thirty-one school organizations that participated in the parade, each group received a cer- tificate. Later that evening, the floats were judged at the football game. The categories were: Best Use of Color, Best Constructed, Most Original, Best Followed Out Theme, and First Place. Freshman captured the First Place Award. Of course, the Homecoming Dance highlighted the week. Three hundred and eighty couples attended, dancing to the sounds of Casanova Students' reactions to the dance were positive. Feeling that the festivities were successful because many students participated, Mrs. Padilla said, Decor- ations and organization were admired the most. After paying for the bands and adornments, Tigers ln Athens expenses amounted to approximately two thousand dollars. me . 1 . . ...l A A it Sh A . .77 - K. TY fr.
