Shades of Green and White Slogans of spirit and shades of green and white adorned the Commu- nity Building both inside and out. ln- side, centerpieces consisted of minia- ture sports equipment which proved that the Athletic Boosters had once again outdone themselves. After Coach Chester Roy's invoca- tion, guests dug-in to the veritable feast, filling their plates with barbe- que, smoked sausage, beans, potato salad, coleslaw, and cake. Conversa- tion lagged as the hungry crowd of fans and athletes did justice to the cook's effort. Following the meal, the coaches presented individual certificates and Head Coach Talkington presented the Billy Jack Roberson and Mary Fleming awards to the outstanding male and female athletes. He, in turn, received a going away present from Booster Monte Rouquette. The highlight of the evening was the slide show of the year's sports activities, put together by Charles Gardner and Monte Rouquette. When the cheerleaders led the guests in the school song, the close- ness of the moment reminded every- one that year's end brings change, but memories should last a lifetime.

S - . From The Ceiling -- Balloons And Streamers Swinging - that's the way the year ended for the band. Their hard work and effort received its reward with a banquet prepared by the Band Boosters. Pink net hung from the ceiling along with the pink and black bal- loons and streamers. The tables had note centerpieces with paper carna- tion sodas. The boosters served hamburgers, baked beans, and, the most request- ed, Curly-Q-French fries 'til nearly 8:00. This worked to the advantage of absent-minded band members who arrived late. Food disappeared al- most miraculously as immense appe- Reading from the list of songs on his napkin. junior Will Sudweeks finds some oldies but goodies, as eighth grader Dylan Wallace has his attention on the dance floor. 26 Band Banquet tites appeased themselves. Perhaps this indicated correlation between music appreciation and enjoyment of food. A nostalgic glimpse of the past year, in the form of a slide show, gave all the band members, but espe- cially the seniors a chance to relive some of the better band experiences for the last time. Then it was time to dance. No one seemed to want to be the first out on the floor, but soon everyone was dancing as the boost- ers served cookies and cokes. The fun ended with both boosters and students competing to retrieve balloons for souvenirs.
