Excitement fills Robin Mize and escort Matt Gatwick upon the announcement of her name as queen. Homecoming reunites alumni Returning home, alumni found Homecoming as traditional as it had always been with mums, the game, the crowning of the queen and the dance in the cafeteria. Seniors sold mums for the local sweethearts to enjoy on September 26. The game was a disappointing, but expected loss to Conroe, resulting in a score of O-30. Halftime activities included the customary Coronation of the queen by Principal Wayne Schaper. The nominees were Lori Landa, Robin Mize and Peggy Wurts, with Robin Mize winning the title. Vibrant sounds were provided at the dance by an out of town band, Ecllipse, and spirits were soon lifted despite the loss. The turn out was good but many dancers found that the limited space cramped their styles. It all came to an abrupt end when the administration interrupted the mood by turning on the lights in the middle of a slow dance.

Sigma Gamma excites senior stud the locks. Loss of sleep, money and homework grades became common for 180 senior girls dedicated to boosting the egos of the athletes. Sigma Gammites visited players' houses bringing cakes, balloons, crepe paper and victory signs in an effort to show their enthusiasm for the jocks. For the last two football games they were allowed to wrap houses, leaving them looking like a blizzard had struck during the night. Their support did not stop at the athletes' houses. Sigma Gamma decorated lockers so the jocks could show everyone that they were being supported. The girls showed their enthusiasm also during pep rallies with songs, poems and skits including a skit where playboy bunnies cracked confetti filled eggs on the football players' heads. For the last football game Sigma Gamma captured the football players at 5:00 a.m., blindfolded them and took them to the park where they all had breakfast in the chilly morning. The majority of the players did not appreciate being awakened so early but President Karey Grth concluded that most of them, when it was all over, really liked it except for those who didn't like donuts or milk. At the final pep rally Karey made a touching speech expressing the feelings of all the girls saying, We just want ya'll to know we really love you and we'll always back you, no matter what. 28 SIGMA GAMMA atapep
