The Spirit of Homecoming '86 Where else could one find smoke in the hallways, fireworks at halftime, and full attendance at the pep rally? Only at Pulaski Academy! This year's homecom- ing was filled with exciting events Thursday night, students attended a bonfire sponsored by the Sr. cheerleaders to promote school spirit.Since the theme for homecoming was Fright Night, students could be seen sporting Magnet Cove Panthers with a score of I4-8, and after their victory, there was a dance from 10:00 to 12:30.

Meg Holmes combined with new ideas that created an incredible sense of school spirit. The cheerleaders, drill team, and pep club spent many weeks preparing the best homecoming Pulaski Academy had ever seen. It began with dress up days during the week such as Safari day, when Banana Republic and animal skin designs were the fashion, and Twinkie day, where best friends could be seen dressed alike. witch, ghost, and other sorts of ghoulish costumes. Students were relieved to find that the smoke filling the halls the next day wasn't the result of Dr. King's chemistry lab, but just another attempt at promoting school spirit. There was a reception for the alumni in the upper library before the game, and there was also a caravan beginning at Tanglewood shopping center. The Sr. Bruins beat the sound board, sound system, and lights. This was part ofa five year project to provide Pulaski Academy with a self-efficient dance sytem. Two senior guys, Jason Matt and Kris Gillian did the music. When asked about this year's football homecoming Kris Gillian summed it up with this quote, Homecoming this year was more interesting than it has ever been and has been one that I will not soon forget.
