The 1982-83 Baby Blues did an outstanding job, under Coach Ranus' fine directions. Roger Rivas and Thad Barnes, who received the defensive player of the year award, did outstanding jobs as linebackers. Matt Ward and Lee McCullem both had a fine year, also. Offensively, Matt Miller was voted the most valuable player and received the of- fensive player of the year award. Ron Shelton played fullback extremely well and Steven Daniels did an excellent job as the quarterback. The overall team had a very successful season and hopes to do as well next year as the B-team members. ATLANTA FALCONS - The Falcons visited NHS during the National Football League strike in the 1982-83 season. Their visit allowed the Blue Devil students to meet the pros and see -z.sm.i V191 4A them in practice. lt also brought local and national coverage to NHS. We were happy to have hosted the Atlanta Falcons and wish them good fortunes. Hopefully, some of our football players will become pros one day, too. media 43

Homecoming is a tradition at Norcross High which is still very alive and extremely popular. This year, Homecoming began with Spirit Week: students were urged to show their spirit and dress up for Punk Rock Day, Western Day, Military Day, Sports Day, and Blue and White Day. Dur- ing the week prior to the Homecoming game, the National Honor Society sold carnations, which were delivered in homeroom on Friday, and the Girls Basketball Team sold Spirit Chain links for 5a: each. This year, the Freshman class took first place followed by the Sophomore, Senior and Junior Classes. On Friday afternoon, the traditional pep rally was held with the parade following. ln the parade, the class floats and club cars were judged. The Homecoming Court also rode in cars along with their class floats. Homecoming Court representatives were chosen by their fellow classmates and votes were tallied by the student council, who sponsored the parade. Homecoming Court members were: Seniors: Holly Barber, Beth Bowen, Kay Gaddis, Denise Merrit, Chris Vorpahl and Laurie Walker: Juniors: Whitney Jones, Becky Speaks, and Kim Tompkins: Sophomores: Christy Chastain, Melanie Mitchell, and Jennifer Reddickg Freshmen: Lisa Lane, Candi Reddic, and Missy Thompson. 45
