Couples Feel Heavenly “Surprise!” David Hill points out a photographer to his date, while Scott Martin looks on. At the W hen spring rolled around, so did the excitement and intensity of the junior-senior prom. While the juniors were brainstorming and pre¬ paring ideas, the seniors were anticipat¬ ing that “special night.” After the theme was chosen, the hard work began. Meet¬ ings were held and committees were or¬ ganized. The week before the prom proved to be the most hectic. It seemed as though everything that needed to be done would never get done! Finally, after many long days and nights of work, results became evident. Having previously tried on their dresses ten times, the girls were still found getting ready three hours before their dates scheduled arrivals. However, the guys were concentrating mainly on getting that car clean, while leaving their Stairway moms to do the pressing of the tux. After dinner and some special attention, cou¬ ples arrived at the prom ready to catch a glimpse of everyone else and to have a great time. The wide smiles and “oohs” and “ahhs” showed everyone’s approval. Amazement was seen in every eye when the “Stairway to Heaven” came in to view. The rest of the evening was spent dancing the night away on that special cloud and making memories to last for¬ ever. “What kind of dance?” Tal Swails looks puzzled at his date Andrea Witt, as she suggests a new dance. 20 Prom

It has always been said that a picture is worth a thousand words, Cyndi Crissman’s excitement can’t be put into words as she is announced Homecoming Queen ’88, but her reaction says it all. Although he didn’t get to play in the game because of an early season injury, Timmy Barnwell watches his teammates. He was a loyal member and fan to his team for the entire remainder of the season. SPIRIT (con ' t.) I The freshmen celebrated their victory at the pep rally where the results were announced. Their spirits were high, but I the freshman spirits weren’t the ony ones. Everyone was excited about the upcoming game with Tunstall Trojans. Friday night finally rolled around. By half-time, Tunstall was ahead, but the fans were still in high spirits. The half¬ I time activities were dominated by the crowning of Cyndi Crissman as the new Homecoming Queen. Her senior court consisted of Marla Cassady, Kim Reyn¬ olds, Wendy Law, and Shannon Martin. The remaining members included jun¬ iors Mendy Coason and Kelly Handy; freshmen Tiffany Lawson and Shannie Shelton; sophomores MaryBeth Martin and Katina Plasters; and sub-freshman Tracie Hardin and Cheryl Lawless. During the last two quarters of the game, players pushed hard for the vic¬ tory, but were disappointed with a score of 7-14 in favor of the Tunstall Trojans. The game crowd dissipated, and the students quickly reorganized at the dance. The homecoming spirit had fi¬ nally dwindled down to couples on the dance floor. As the last notes faded, only the memories remained along with hopes of great future homecomings. Homecoming 19
