ELGULE 3. The cheerleaders and twirlers show their acrobatic skills with the biggest pyramid of the year. The tension and excitement grew as we started toward the gym for the afternoon pep rally. The band played as the students filed in the gym doors and found seats on the bleachers. The cheer- leaders cheered and the twirlers twirled. Everyone clapped and cheered; yelled and sang while the football team huddled and chanted. As the night progressed, we cheered our team on at the foot- ball game. We were usually the loudest when we got a touch- down or intercepted a pass. The football players played hard and fast so that the other teams could not figure out our strategy and as the final seconds counted down, we cheered our team to another victory. After the game, the next excit- ing place to go was the victory dance where the DJ got every- body moving with our favorite songs. Dancing helped everyone loosen up a little more and be- come more relaxed. Friday night’s events made Fri- days just a little less boring for some and really exciting for oth- ers. But regardless of the events of the previous week, we all had to agree with senior Russell Hughes, “There’re not many better places to be on Friday afernoon or Friday night than on our campus.” Peqion LOOME EAVISITOR THE JW.

Court Decisions ... Homecoming — four frantic days filled with excitement, antici- pation, and activity. We dressed up on Western Day and Back- wards Day and acted silly on Punk-Rock Day. On Spirit Day we competed in a mini-float parade, spirit skits, pie-eating contest, a bubble-gum blow out, and a bal- loon bursting event. We paraded through town, car windows deco- rated with shoe polish art, yelling and honking to promote enthusi- asm and proclaim our determina- tion to win. Our team tried to maintain calm, clear, dedicated minds and to concentrate on vic- tory so that the expectant crowd would be thrilled by a resounding Homecoming victory. Finally, at the pre-game show, the duchesses were introduced, the senior princesses were an- nounced, and our 1982 Home- coming Queen, Teresa Utsey, was crowned.
