The Most Exciting Week Of The Year ... The zany days of Homecoming began with Western Day. Painted hair, exotic make-up, and colored clothes brought Punk Rock Day and strange reversals indicated Backwards Day. But the best day of all was — Green and White Spirit Day. Long Spirit chains and mini-float designs were revealed at the morning Pep Rally, an hour long party with bubble-gum blowing, balloon bursting, shoe and egg relaying and spirit skits. When the cheering crowd left the afternoon pep rally we were proud, eager, and ready to be the best — Mustangs! Punk Rock Day brings out the true identities of senior Tony Sprayberry, juniors Brent John and Chris Trice, and sophomore Alan Gieb. Lots of hot air wins the bubble gum-blowing contest for eightt grader Dawné Hendley. Each class has its own favorite “Pie-Eating Monster” ready to eat: 7th-Roderick Adams, 8th- Jimmy Menges, 9th-Doug Wade, Soph.-John Holt, Jr.-Brent John, and Sr.-Todd White. Showing the winning mini-float for the eighth grade are Linda Branscom, Kim Foster, and Phillip Cox. 20 Homecoming Week

Here Comes Santa Claus ... Christmas! That special time of year when little children talk and dream about what Santa Claus will bring and the world takes on a kind of glow. As we grow older, though, it seems more important to forget about getting gifts and to share the joy of giving and the Christmas spirit with others. The Christmas season officially be- gan with the parade downtown led by our band. As the month pro- gressed, everyone became more cheerful and excited. Our halls and classrooms began to brighten as we all took part in planning and deco- rating classroom doors. The annual staff kept us surprised by sneaking around taking unexpected pictures and the drama class entertained the elementary students with a Christ- mas play. Santa Claus even paid us a visit handing out candy canes! Dur- ing all this confusion and excitement we took those gruesome two-hour semester exams. When 2:30 De- cember 17 finally rolled around, we were really ready for our two week holiday! Gary Worley tells Santa what he wants for Christmas.
