What kind of plague was sweeping Dorman? The plague was that of football fever with the four and zero start. Homecoming week began on Tues- day, September 25. with a picket for spirit. Student Council members and various clubs participated by making posters. They carried the posters at lunch to picket for spirit. The Latin Club painted the most posters for second lunch. Stacey Brooks and her sponsor Don Rodgers, along with Camilla Browne, move down to make room for the rest of the contestants. Awaiting Gerald Clowney to call out their names are the homecoming contestants and their spon- sors. Singing minstrals composed of cho- rus members entertained students dur- ing the lunches on Wednesday. Finally, on Thursoay the Bluebonic Plague was revealed. The Dorman Players under the direction of Mr. David Spearman, performed a skit entitled The Blue- bonic Plague. The skit enacted out the upcoming football game and the crowning of the homecoming queen. A humorous effect was added by hav- ing guys dressed up as girls running for homecoming queen and girls in foot- ball pads as the players. Candy was thrown out to cap off the presenta- tion. On Friday, the theme was blue day and dress-up day. Though it was a cloudy, cool day, the first outside pep rally of the year was held in honor of homecoming. It did not matter that the classes were spread out in differ- ent areas of the stands because the seniors still prevailed yelling Senior louder than anyone else in the class chant. Finally, the contestants were pre- sented along with their sponsors. The guessing of who would be queen would be over in just ten short hours. 16 Homecoming Court
