Fall brings many adjustments, adjustment to a new principal, to a new roster of classes, and coming to school each morning at 8:45.

BLITZING HURRICANES HIGHLIGHT HOMECOMING The highlight of the 1975 football season was Homecoming. The Hurricane Blitz on Thursday night brought many talented acts with Virgil’s Tabernacle Choir adding the crowning touch. Friday night unleashed the Scarlet Hurricanes on the Tazewell Bulldogs in a 14-0 super nova of spirit. In the middle of all that frenzy, Miss Shelley Sharpe was proudly crowned Homecoming Queen. The Hurricane Blitz spirit did not end with the game, as was evidenced on Saturday night when students rocked to the harmony of the Welles Brothers. HOMECOMING QUEEN, SHELLEY Sharpe, and her court: Stan White, Merle Rogers, Amy Gwyn, and Sherri Campbell show that tensions ease after the half-time crowning. 22 JUNIOR MEMBERS OF the Homecoming Court, Sherri Campbell and Amy Gwyn, take advantage of one more practice for Homecoming night.
