S-P-|- R-I-T LHS Celebrates Homecoming Homecoming week started off with a colorful blast. On Monday students dressed up in bed clothes. On Tuesday they wore their favorite jerseys. On Wednesday they wore their clothes backwards. On Thursday all wore cos- tumes and Red and White on Friday showed school spirit. Not only did the student body dress up to show their spirit but also there was a soc-hop and bonfire. On the day of the game the cheerleaders held an outdoor pep rally on Brewbaker Field. At the end of the pep Rally some “Senior Terrorists’ kidnapped Miss Elizabeth Ramsey, our U.S. History teacher. The football team received a ransom note stating that a victory would insure her safety and release. Later that Friday night, the Hur- ricane football team would crush Riverheads.

Mr. Reynolds, the principal of Lexington High School announced that the 1987 Homecoming Queen was Miss Jennifer Goodyear. After half time was over the Hur- ricane came out fighting again.

The win against Riverheads was a boost for the Homecoming Dance. The dance was held on the Saturday after the football game. This dance isn’t just for Lexington High School students; it is also for alumni. This year quite a few graduates attended the Homecoming festivities. The Homecoming Court was announced again during the dance and our Queen Jennifer Goodyear and her court were escorted by the football players.

RUNNers Some actors and actresses spon- sored by the Rockbridge Concert Theatre Series came to LHS for a Thurs- day assembly between 5th and 6th periods. They portrayed five teenagers who had run away and were now ina shelter reflecting on how they could have dealt differently with their home situations. The five different indi- viduals being portrayed were Charlie, Tony, Weazy, J.T., and Ashley. Together they discussed a touching but impor- 14 Runners tant issue with humor and sometimes sadness. The actors covered all the aspects of running away and tried to get in touch with the students at LHS. It was a very brilliant and ingenious way to help teenagers sort through the many feelings that they have. They ended up by giving a toll free number (1-800-231-6946) that potential “Runners” could call. — Nathan Heatley “Boss, de plane, de plane.” It may look like the star Of Fantasy Island but actually it’s William Sayers making a point to the audience.
