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.

Presidential Priming The presidential election of November 1976 did not pass by without reaction. Many students threw themselves into active cam- paigning for their preferred candidate, and those who could voted. Even many who could not vote had definite opinions as to which presidential prospect would be the best for the job. In the school-wide election, Gerald Ford won by a small margin, but the national choice proved to be different on November 2 Jimmy Carter was chosen by the Amer- ican people to become our first president from the deep South in many decades. Some students were elated, others bitterly disap- pointed, and still others were completely apathetic about the outcome of this very im- portant election. It is a change that will affect all of our lives as we watch and see how this new President will run the most powerful nation on earth. IN AN EFFORT to make his vote count, Mike Crewey goes to the poles. VOTES FOR PRESIDENT in the mock election are counted by the current history class 20 fckciion ' 76
