Boy, what a week! I never knew there were so many different kinds of socks and hats. I ate candy in class and I even ate a sucker right under a teacher ' s nose. Activities geared toward boosting school spirit were carried through Homecoming Week. Students were con- tinually in search of cheerleaders who were selling Life-Saver suckers and chocolate footballs. Hat day brought Lancers to school wearing a variety of hats ranging from stocking caps to som- breros. Crazy sock day gave students a chance to exhibit their plaids, flowers and stripes. On 50 ' s Day, guys dressed in the Fonzie image, wearing white shirts and socks, high water pants and slicked-back hair. Girls wore long skirts, bobbie socks, and scarves. On Friday night, the Lancers were vic- torious over the Patrick County Cougars. During halftime, senior guard, Steve Wingfieid and halfback, Jim White, were given the Mr. Touchdown awards, and Louann Hodnett was crowned Home- coming Queen and Marilyn Roher, Princess.

There were only five seniors on the team this year. Steve Wingfield, a guard, was named as the defensive player of the week in the Roanoke Times, only to be out the next week with appen- dicitis This left Jim White, Eugene Moyer. Clay Gravely, and McKinley Stockton to lead the team. Only Jim White was in the beginning line-up. Few had ever seen varsity action, and there were only 9 guys returning that had lettered the year before. Sometimes the long hours of an athlete were over- looked. The team started practice the tenth of August Practice was usually two hours in the afternoon except on Thursday when they dressed out light and saw the film from the previous game. f 9 p e ? ?» ,!
