Excitement and Variety During Homecoming Week Homecoming Week is a time during the school year that everyone looks forward to. It’s a chance to be yourself, to show your creativity and to just kick up your heels and have a good time! For the Homecoming Week festivities, participants donned several costumes throughout the week. On Monday, students could dress as their favorite rock star or whatever they dared (pro¬ vided it stayed within the dress code)! Tuesday was the day for hoodlums and togas. The halls on Wednesday looked like the Scientific In¬ terpretation Room at the li¬ brary on a Saturday night as the “nerds” of the school strutted their stuff or wore shades. Thursday brough Pairs Day (like Laverne and Shirley) and Hawaiians with grass skirts as well, and Fri¬ day’s school day saw people dressed in ’50’s clothing or as cowboys and Indians. Of course, everyday was green and gold day where you wore the respective colors. By Fri¬ day evening, everyone was ready for the Homecoming game that night! Neither the cold weather nor the lost games kept the Cougars from the Homecom¬ ing Game. The weather and the record may have been dis¬ couraging, but the football team was ready to trample the Tunstall Trojans and the stands were backing them all the way. The crowd went wild when halftime came, for everyone knew that the band as well as the Homecoming Court would be something worth seeing. Arriving in Mustangs and Ca- meros, Michelle Ratliff and Jenny Redmond represented the sub-freshman class and Kara Griffith and Kelly Handy were chosen as repre¬ sentatives for the freshmen. The tenth and eleventh grade representatives were Heather Hill, Teresa Hall, Dena McHone and Cindy Radford, respectively. Nominees for Homecoming Queen were Donna Turner, Judy Adams, Beth Parramore, Christina Flippin and Tina Houle. Tina was crowned Homecoming Queen and despite the cold weather, her face had a warm glow and smile for the crowd as SCA President, Tracy Tur¬ man, fondly placed the crown on her head. The game was a hard- fought one, and though the Cougars lost, the crowd was still merry. After the game, The Homecoming Dance went into full swing. The dance continued until midnight, and when the dance was over, Homecoming was too. All that was left were the memories of the fun experienced through¬ out the entire week, and the hopes that next year would be as successful!
