‘ ' Homecoming is my favorite event of the year ...” “Homecoming is my favorite event of the year because of all the events that transpire and bring the class together. ” — Danny Oprisko Homecoming began several weeks ahead of time for many seniors with the building of the class float. After securing shed number eleven at the Poquoson Marina, the usual handful of workers and mostly onlookers began to work on their last float. Slowly progress could be seen as the hard work of a few faithful builders paid off. Becuase it was their last float, “A Touch Away from Victory”, was hoped to win by all who had worked and even by those who had only observed. Finally, with the float complete, seniors waited calmly as they were confident that they had built a “WINNER”. Much to their disappointment, when the winner was announced, the junior class claimed victory. The senior class accepted defeat in stride, somewhat disgusted, neverthe- less proud of second place.

Along with school responsibilities, they shared other responsibilities difficult, both physically and mentally. Their school memories might include the first time they wrote their new name on a paper and I heard it called on the roll. They became limited in j their school activities and there was a definite rever- sal in goals for these students as graduation became | their short term goal and raising a family their long term goal. ' Marriage limits extra curricular activities The greatest percentage of marriages ever to take place in a class at our school took place among the students of the senior class. Some were returning parents and others newlywed over the duration of the summer and during the year. so Scniiir.s
