The Court On The Court Barbara Hosey. the new Basketball Homecoming Queen, expresses her joy and excitement with smiles and tears. The Basketball Homecoming Tra- dition lives on. How did these students become Basket- ball Homecoming maids? Well. the bas- ketball players got together and nominat- ed as many girls as they wanted to be on the court. Of course. this number was too large and had to be narrowed down to ten girls. All of the nominated girls names were placed on a ballot and distributed by the Student Council to all the homeroom classes for the student body to elect the girls they wanted to represent their class. A separate election involving only senior maids determined who would reign over the new court: the results were not re- vealed until the night of the big event! On January 4. 1980. the results of this election were released in a whirlwind of activities. Each girl was presented to the audience and was given a small bouquet of flowers and a gift from their class offi- cers. After the girls were presented. they anxiously awaited the name of the new queen. Barbara Hosey. who was presented with flowers and a kiss from the team cap- tains. was crowned as the 1980 Basket- ball Homecoming Queen by last years queen Gayle Canaga with the assistance of principal Billy Hubbard.

f mam t Chris Hawkins and Sarah Benezue en- joy sitting at a picnic table in the shade in front of the school during lunch. The favorite part of each school day for students and teachers alike was lunchtime. Don't let the name fool you. Lunchtime was much more than just eating lunch. It was a welcome break in studies. a chance to catch up on some work. to talk with friends. or to just get outside and enjoy the sunshine.. A person choosing to eat lunch during this time had a variety of places to choose from. The school cafeteria provided fast. hot. inexpensive meals. If students didntt feel like trying the cafeteria food and had money and transportation. they could choose from many eating places in Ocean Springs. Among them were McDonald's, Wendy's. Hardee's. Captain D's. Pizza Hut. Pizza Inn. Hogie House. and various other fast-food restaurants. People who were short on money or who were watching their weight could bring their own lunch and eat outside in the sun- shine on the new picnic tables. provided by the Beta Club. or on the front walk. Salad lovers and weight watchers rejoiced with the opening of a salad line in the cafeteria: salad and trimmings were offered for the regular school lunch price. Whether students used lunchtime to their advantage by catching up on homework or studying for an afternoon test. to socialize. or to rest in the sun or throw a frisbee. it was a welcome break in classes and the highlight of everyone's day. 22 Lunchtime Sarah Puckett. Putter Greene. and Mi- chelle Carmichael enjoy eating at McDonalds. a popular place during lunchtime. Mmmm Good r .. A lonely softdrink and half a hamburger from McDonalds pose for a picture before being com- pletely devoured.
