A Victorious The first big celebration was fi- nally going to take place. Once again it raged Homecoming Week. A feeling of excitment grew in every member of the student body. The student's reaction will never be for- gotten. The week consisted of many events such as dress-up days. Every- one dressed up for 50's day, hat and sunglasses day, t-shirt and button day, and school spirit day. On school spirit day students showed their spirit by wearing red and blue. All had a chance to express his or her own creativity through daring and inno- vative apparel. The next event was proclaimed powder puff game day, a game that put Junior and Senior girls head on seeking a victory. It created a struggling battle between the junior and senior rivals. There burned much Dancing Ns victory dance. John Chilton Is crowned Mr. Sexy Legs by a contest among al the footbal players. Sharing a tender and happy moment alone, Jett Burton and Tonya Tyler wait casually for the next slow dance. Foundation anger among the rivals and the fights broke out most assuredly. When asked if powder putt meant alot to her, Georgianna French said, Definitely, it gives the girls in both junior and senior classes a chance to work together and make the most of their last years of high school. Although the seniors fought a good battle, the juniors rose to a victory. An FHA sponsored sexy legs contest proved John Chilton to own the most tantalizing appendages. He was crowned Mr. Sexy Legs at the Homecoming pep rally. This pep rally celebrated the night's game. People danced to the beat as the end of the week was closed with the Homecoming dance.

For the grade re- presentatives, the queen candi- dates and their escorts, and, espe- cially for Tamra Priddy, homecom- ing made a definite impression. Tamra was crowned Home- coming Queen. Tamra's first reac- tion was one of shock. She said, When I first heard my name called over the speaker, I went numb. I guess it was the shock I felt. I forgot everything we had done in prac- tice. As the night progressed so did the attention she received. She said, Everywhere I walked there was a new face to greet me! I nev- er felt more special in my whole life! But when asked if she thought the title would change her atti- tude, she replied, No, why should it? I was just lucky. Just as Tamra was surprised by becoming Homecoming Queen, the student body was surprised by the early arrival of homecoming. The game and all the activities were celebrated in September. Kathy Parrott remarked, It seems so weird. It's too hot for Homecom- ing. It shouldn't be until at least Oc- tober. But the time of year made no difference to the football team who left a mark all its own. They de- feated the Richmond Madison Purples by a score of 21 to 8. Excitement surrounded every- one. The outcome of all the activi- ties, especially the ballgame, made a perfect ending for Home- coming.
