Flower Power — Sandy Hiit, Hope Phillips, and Rhonda Schreiber smile at the camera during the Homecoming pep rally. The Homecoming Queen of 1983 is Keri Baird escorted by her father Ken Baird. ‘Home Turf’ It was October 7, a day filled with nonstop excitement. Students got to school early, so they could talk to all their friends, and see what all they got for Homecoming. Walking through the halls, there wasn’t a moment of silence, bells everywhere! Some teachers even made the girls scotchtape the bells before entering class. As the day lingered on, the excitement grew. Classes still continued, but it was difficult to concentrate on books when your thoughts were focused on that night’s activities. Finally the last bell of the day rang and students trampled to their cars, which some found shoe-polished. They hurried home to get ready for the night to come. Homecoming fans crowded into their home turf, Memorial Stadium to sit back and enjoy pregame activities. The Pacesetters and the Big Biue performed their regular pregame show with a little something extra. The moment that was long awaited finally came. The noise from the crowd died down and the ‘‘court’’ was announced. The crowd was silent when suddenly, “‘The 1983 Homecoming queen is. . . Keri Baird.’’ Keri was crowned by the former queen Sherri Reville and recieved a dozen long stemmed roses. Keri Baird comments on being Homecoming Queen, “‘I felt it was such an honor being nominated; It was so exciting to have my daddy escort me onto the field. He was as excited as | was. It was an experience we'll both remember for the rest of our lives.”’ As the crowd roared with excitement, the queen and her court were escorted off the field. The game was no let down for the Homecoming fans. The Stallions defeated the Garland Owls, 14-0. Student Life 11
