Viva Vacation After the big win over William Byrd on Friday night, the school was ready to celebrate with the annual Homecom- ing Dance. The Homecoming Court was presented by Senior Class Presi- dent Fred Larsen. Homecoming Queen Kim Hatcher was escorted by senior football co-captain Robert Glenn, and Maid-of-Honor Ami Settle was escorted by senior co-captain Dar- rell Plogger. The Senior Class sponsored the dance with the theme of ‘Vacation.’ On Saturday morning, a number of seniors came to decorate. Decorations consisted of a canopied parachute, multi-colored balloons and streamers, decorated tables, and posters of differ- ent vacation sites. There were travel posters of Paris, Hawaii, The Bahamas, Jamaica to mention a few of the favorite vacation spots highlighted. Blues, yel- lows, greens, and reds gave unexpect- ed color to the gymnasium. Senior Cor- dell Sensabaugh recalled the work that went into the decorations, ‘I didn’t re- alize how hard it was to decorate for a dance. Even though many thought it wasn't as good as the past, a lot of time and effort went into it.'’ Music for the big event was provided by DJ Lee Drew. Smiling as she recalled the evening, freshman Jill Conner remarked, “It was fun. I enjoyed it.” I had an excellent time! I felt like a princess! It was as much fun being the princess as the Queen!” enthusiastical- ly commented Maid-of-Honor Ami Set- tle.
