Homecoming Sparks Spirit This years’ Homecoming was not as successful as was hoped for, but the week did get off to a good start by students and faculty dressing each day in particular ways thought up by the SCA. Homecoming week gives each student and members of the faculty a chance to express their joy and spirit throughout the school. In order to do this students and faculty were per¬ mitted to dress in outrageous, but clever, costumes. “Wear What You Dare” or “Pajama” day led the week off on Monday. There was the op¬ tion of going backwards or for¬ wards on “Backwards day,” but “Dress as Your Favorite Teacher Day” was an appeal¬ ing option for most students on Tuesday. Wednesday was “Camouflage or Beach Day.” Some students came wearing camouflage so as not to be seen, and others in beachweai so as to get a tan. On Thurs¬ day, green and gold were the most widely displayed colors on “Spirit Day.” A pep rall was held Thursday afternoon to announce the contest win¬ ners with the most spirited chain with the winner being the Senior class. Friday concluded spirit week with a day of Punkers and Breakers. Out of each day, “Punk and Break Day” was the most displayed. Some stu¬ dents came with bizzare hair and clothes, others with chains. All in all, everyone showed enthusiasm for the night to come. Great effort was put into the Friday evening Homecoming game, but the Cougars’ strong effort was not enough to de¬ feat Dan River. The game end¬ ed with a score of 20 to 7. Half time entertainment was given by the Cougar Band and the suspenseful crowning of the Homecoming Queen was pre¬ sented afterward. The Queen, Kelly LaForce, was crowned by Kenny Pack, SCA Presi¬ dent. Her court was made up of: Seniors Cheryl Anderson, Robin Radford, Stephanie Smith, and Jessica Willis; ju¬ niors Tina Houle and Donna Turner; sophomores Dena McHone and Sandy Trent; freshmen Becky Bowman and Lisa Joyce; sub-freshmen Kara Griffith and Traci Wood. The week was concluded by the exciting sounds of Astro- Disco. Although the home¬ coming dance ended the “in¬ teresting” week, it did not end the everlasting memories. Enjoying herself immensely at one of the school dances,Renee Ko- denski takes a break to enjoy a few refreshments. Being another one of the many who got caught up in the spirit, Mike Ror- rer dresses up for “Beach Day”. Never being one to get caught unprepared, Mike brings along his sunglasses and his beach towel. 16 Homecoming

Explaining that it is only to raise school spirit, Brian Hutchens tries to coax someone else to throw the pie in the Principals face. Waiting eagerly for Bubba Houchins to hand over the scroll, David Baum smiles enthusiasticly as he takes hold of the “Bill of Sale.” Exhibiting his comical side Tobe Lane portrayed with extraordinary professionalism. While Michelle Ayers looks on seriously, Brian Akers looks down wondering what that is on the floor.
