IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO BEGIN THE FESTIVITIES FOR PHOEBUS DAY by Schatzi Hawthorne A s spirit week came to an end, there also came a new begin¬ ning. Phoebus Day, which was on Saturday, Oct 8, was a day not only for Phantoms, but also for other schools in the area. The morning started with a parade and Phoebus High School could be seen as the first school approaching the reviewing stand. Phoebus’ Banner was proudly marched forth and was followed by the majorettes, band, flag corps and cheerleaders. The music be¬ gan to fade away as the convertibles followed the marchers. The first con¬ vertible contained our past and present principals. The second convertible contained the presidents of Phoebus’ S. C. A., Senior, Junior and Sophomore classes. The third convertible which displayed the 1983 Homecoming Queen, Lyndy Conner, slowly passed, and the crowd enthusiastically cheered the new queen. The cheering soon died down, and all eyes were on the beautiful float created by the senior class. It was followed by the junior and sophomore class floats. Though the un¬ derclassmen tried very hard, the senior class won the $75 prize given by the S. C. A. for the winning float. Some other honors that we won for the day were the Civilian Marching Unit Award and the Marching Unit Award which was given to the M.J.R.O.T.C. Both of these awards were given by the judges at the reviewing stand. Tim Baxter warmed up for the 10K road run with a short one mile run. The one mile race was open to anyone who wanted to test his ability to go that distance. The band, wearing their Phoebus 1 hats marched in the parade. The march route took them down Mellen Street onto County Street and the reviewing stand. Crystal Cooper and Cathy Mack represented the S. C. A. during the parade. Different organiza¬ tions sold various things to raise money. 25 Phoebus Day
