A Crowning Success “How does my hair look?” “Is my make-up okay?” “Oh! It ' s almost eight o ' clock. I think I’m going to faint!” These were only a few of the remarks heard behind stage that Saturday night, September 18. Forty-six girls were representing all the clubs, classes, and organizations of the school. Through all the nervousness and excitement, the contestants were calmed enough to practice the theme song, “I Enjoy Being a Girl,” with the aid of Mrs. Wilhite. Unlike previous years, there were eight finalists instead of five from which the queen and her court were chosen. With the help of Mrs. Winters and the SCA the pageant was a success. THE VOICES OF Patty Harris, Diane Wilson, Lori Robinson, Susan Blevins, and Becky Grinstead ring out strong in the practice session. ENTERTAINMENT IS PROVIDED by Becky McKinnon. Mary Blevins, and Laurie Craig while the contestants prepare themselves backstage for further competition. 16 Beauty Papcjnl

The Tinkerbell, Mickey Mouse, and Pluto dropped by Marion during the week of October 25th to ignite the Homecoming activities with a bang. During the week, spirited students pre- pared for the coming events, and their efforts began to pay off with the success of the Variety Show ' on Thursday night. The Red Revue brought out many talented acts from both stu- dents and faculty. Afterwards students and friends escaped the chilly air for a few mom- ents around the blazing bonfire in the lower parking lot. On Friday afternoon, in an hour- long pep rally, the student body released their overwhelming spirit. Before the game Friday night, a Homecoming parade was held down Main Street in order to arouse community spirit. Following the parade, young and old Hur- ricane fans made the journey to the stadium in spite of the cold to await the beginning of the game with Grundy’s Golden Waves. The Red Revue proved themselves worthly of praise as they won the most important game of the sea- son, 20-8, through hard work and good sports- manship. The football game was highlighted by the crowning of Sherry Campbell as Home- coming Queen for 1977. The undaunted spirits of the Red Revue were carried over to Saturday night and the Homecoming Dance. Couples celebrated while dancing to the music of Greens Creek from North Carolina. As the week- end drew to a close, students went home feeling somewhat exhausted, but thoroughly happy be- cause the week had proved well worth all the hard work. IN THE PEP rally, Robert Russell gives his prediction as to the result of the upcoming game. Red Revue THE FLAMING BONFIRE provides a background for Terri Ferrell and Julie Blackwell as the lead the cheering after the Variety Show. THE VARIETY SHOW included the talent of the faculty as they perform their skit entitled, “Six Full Hours.” k n 1 ft p j j THE HOMECOMING COURT as elected by the student body is Brenda Rowland, Kim Sturgill, Sherry Campbell, Kim McClure, and- Terri Ferrell. in Homecoming
