Homecoming — An Ongoing Tradition H omecoming! What a Feeling! Promoting that theme, Mr. John Bell directed the Drama Club’s production for the Homecoming assembly. Using television shows to depict the years, the program included scenes from the 1950’s, 1960’s, 1970’s, and 1980’s. Some of the programs included “‘American Bandstand,” “I Love Lucy,” The Supremes, Flip Wilson, The Jackson Five, and “‘Good Times,”’ Popular singing groups were also pantomimed. These singers were Prince (Pernell Williams) and the Time (Morris Day performed by Mark Gordon). A dance routine was performed off “‘What a Feeling,” the theme. The lead dancers were Alicia McGee, Anthony Cabble, and Angela Armstrong. The presentation of the Homecoming Court ended the assembly. The day concluded as Homecoming exhibits were put together. North Tower won first prize in the exhibits. The evening ended with a pep rally and dance contest. The excitement continued the next day when Lanier defeated Selma. The entertainment included a dance sponsored by the Student Council and featured the ‘““CandyMan.”’ Darrell Ellis shows off his talent while pantomiming “Wild and Loose.” Portraying Diana Ross, Sheryl Hart expresses the words of “Baby Love.” Wilmer Jordan and John Blackmon perform as two of the Jackson Five. Dawn Arbee dances during the ““Time”’ scene. Homecoming 21

Weekends—A Time of Boredom M ost Lanier students would agree that there is little life in the city of Montgomery when the weekend rolls around. No matter where the students went or what they did, all shared the boredom of a weekend. Some students went out in couples; others in groups, but all experienced the same boredom. When they did participate in activities, they were dances parties, crowding the parking lots of McDonald’s and Burger King, the annual South Alabama State Fair and the Jaycees Haunted House. Perhaps the night time holds some mystical quality. As you sit hunched over your couch, you slowly drift off into a world of your own. The real world seems to have drifted off into darkness. Suddenly your phone rings, and you are asked to go riding. Excitement is visualized. Then you realize the sun has risen and it is back to school again. It is at that moment that you begin to wonder, ‘‘What in the world am I doing in school—I haven’t had a weekend!”’ A t the state fair Glenn Nutt shoots his best shot by trying to burst a balloon in order to win an Elvis painting, while George Edlund weakens his confidence. John Hatchett, LaShon Brantley, Efrem Hanson, An- gela Shelby, Carlos Williams, and Kecia Robertson cele- brate the victory of beating Carver by enjoying a meal at McDonald’s.
