Beyond To most people, the theme “The Year 2000,” meant going forward to the space age. Well, when we say “most people”, we must eliminate the senior class. For Homecoming, the senior class went to the year 2000 B. C., while the other classes and clubs took the traditional route to 2000 A. D. The uniqueness of the senior float was a determining factor in its sweep of the judges to take first place in the float category. This was just one of the many climatic moments of Homecoming Week. It was held October 19-24. Special events took place each day to raise school spirit for the football game and dance. Specific events were Hat Day and Opposite Sex Day, the latter of which was well-defined by Coach “Chip” Rohr’s costume. Blus and Grey Day was held on Thursday, to keep tradition. The bonfire was that evening, Together, the cheerleaders and band made enough noise to awake anyone in the area who had tried to get to sleep early. There had been a girls’ basketball game before the bonfire to start off the weekend festivities. Stringing streamers for the junior class float entry, Alicia Aadnesen works meticulously to try to make her class ' entry the best. Work on the floats had been interrupted by lack of ideas, rain, and even sabotage. The Civilized World 14 Student Life

Beyond The Civilized World AS Friday approached, we got worried. Threats of rain and bad weather reports were in our minds all week. A heavy downpour of rain on Friday caused us to listen to WPRW to find out what would happen to Homecoming. By 4:00, the school administration had decided to postpone the game until 1:00 the following day. The parade would be held at noon. Saturday came, and the sun shone brightly. The field was still slightly muddy, but, after all, everyone likes a muddy football game. At halftime, Mr. Victor Egidi, Principal, with the help of Mr. L. A. Rorrer, Vice-Principal, crowned senior JoAnn Grizzle as Homecoming Queen. JoAnn was picked by the entire student body, under the direction and assistance of the Student Council Association. At nine o’clock that evening, the Homecoming Dance was held in the cafeteria. Mrs. Koman, head of the SCA, thought that the entire week was a total success. A familiar sight at football games and pep rallies was the Eagle mascot. The honor was shared alternately by Senior Ricky Allen and Junior Bubby Morton. During the Homecoming parade, Ricky marches around the football field. 16 Student Life
