Exciting Extras . A week of spirit exce llently defines the week of October 20-24, Lake Hamilton 1980 Football Homecoming. The Queen and her royalty were chosen two weeks ahead of time in order to be ready for the festivities. Student Council presided over the activities. They planned a host of things to capture our attention and build our enthusiasm. On Tuesday, hat and tie day; Wednesday, overalls; Thursday, run over the Leopards; Friday, maroon and gold day. Each day held an aura of anticipation for the coming game. Thursday night we changed the scene and tried an old-fashioned Bon Fire. The fire was bright and the sparks were generating from all directions. Cheers were heard from the cheerleaders and pep talks were given by Tracy Beggs and Keith Rowland. The spirits were high and excitement was easy to acquire.

HOMECOMING - the return of a group of people on a special occasion to a place called home. This pretty well describes the idea behind our own LHHS Homecoming, and there were many people who turned out for this special occasion. The stands were filled by fans with hot chocolate and warm blankets. The lights were bright and brought the only warmth to an otherwise windy evening. The Wolves, the cold, the festivities and the anticipation of the dance made for a fantastic Friday. Everyone was involved in the exciting evening. The Queen and her maids made a pretty picture sitting atop a float, braving the cold to cheer on the Wolves. The Wolves, fired up despite the weather, were ready to fight! fight! fight! And fight they did, by trouncing the Leopards 18-7. The crowd roared as the points were scored. The spirits were high and there was a sense of merriment in the atmosphere. Homecoming 1980 was a joyful and special occasion!! 1980 Royalty Radiates Football Homecoming 33

Friday, the big day had finally arrived. The excitement was seen in the faces of everyone. Student Council workers were busy making prepara- tions for the enchanted walk across the gym. Everyone held a piece of exci- tement in their hands. The Queen, maids, and escorts were excused third period to make themselves ready for the ceremonies. Sixth period seemed hours away as everyone awaited the big event. Finally the big moment arrived. The band started playing, the cheer- leaders started cheering, the Steppin- wolves started stepping and the crowd started swaying with anticipation. As the maids and escorts started their journey down the walk, the exci- tement began to build, and climaxed as the Queen made her walk to the throne, accompanied by her escorts. As she gave her thanks with tears in her eyes the crowd roared and cameras clicked. It proved to be a successful day! . Add to Homecoming: An exciting day, a victorious game, and to end it all, a big dance. On the Road Again said it all for the players, fans, and royalty. Everyone ' s joy from the victory of the game was reflected in the happy faces of the concerned. The Western atmosphere, plus the cowboy boots, and the country music helped every- one to get into a rip-roaring, foot-stomping mood. Student Council must be thanked for the decorations and music. Refreshments were served by the Pep Club, and Beta Club provided the drinks for a low-low price of 25 cents. It even felt like the good ole days! Quad Disco in Little Rock provided the music and lights. Pictures were taken by the Davis Pack Company from Little Rock. The backdrop, which was drawn and painted by Angle Jewell, helped set a pictures- que atmosphere. Everyone and everytning was western and exciting! Football Homecommg 36
