HOMECOMING 74 Homecoming 1973 began on November 2 when the bon¬ fire was lit on the track. Around the fire, cheerleaders led the fans in encouraging the Governors to victory over Altavista. At halftime each representative of the Homecoming Court was driven bv the stands to the music of “I Can See Clearly Now.” Then they were escorted through a line of flash flags by two rifle corp members, while the Governor Band played “Brian’s Song.” Members of the Court from the freshman class were Holly Bradley and Marita Flem¬ ing. The sophomore class was represented by Pat Morse and Darlene Small. Juniors Debbie Hurst and Margaret Morse stood for their class. One of the three senior repre¬ sentatives, Rhonda Briggs, Debbie Morris, or Doris Sho- walter, would become the 1973 Homecoming Queen. Af¬ ter a trumpet fanfare the winner was announced, and Rhonda Briggs was crowned queen. The Homecoming Dance became a festive occasion in 1973. The usual dance was converted into the Harvest Ball. The gym was decorated with fodder, pumpkins, and other trappings indicative of a fall harvest. As The Godfa¬ ther” from Virginia Beach provided the music, the queen, the court, and their Nelson County subjects enjoyed the Harvest Ball on November 3. 23
