MORE MADNESS Another event at the pep rally was the Cougar Shuffle performed by the Varsity foot¬ ball cheerleaders. Wearing sun I glasses and football uniforms, i each cheerleader cracked on a | football player by rapping the ■ words. The Marching Band started off the evening game with their colorful Halloween costumes. At halftime, with band alumni, they performed music. Also at halftime the members of the Homecoming Court were announced and escorted across the field. Cougar spirit was not destroyed even though the football team lost to Salem 14-13. “My favorite part of Homecoming was the exciting game,” said Dawn Dillon. Many weeks of planning were put into the Homecoming dance. Some couples that planned to go matched outfits, ordered flowers, and even planned to go out to dinner that evening. Floats and decora¬ tions from the locker banks were used to decorate the gym. A DJ played tapes and records while a large video screen showed videos. Later in the evening, the Homecoming Court was announced. Randy Meredith and Lisa Parks were crowned Homecoming King and Queen by last year’s queen, Rhonda Cecil. Others crowned during intermission were Kevin Hendricks, Lisa Estep, Mike Jones, and Lisa Spencer. Dressed as a doctor, senior band member Robbie Hodges plays the drums at the Homecoming football game. Since it was Halloween, the band members dressed in costumes.

Some Senior boys from the class of ’86 raided their mothers’ closets and dresses as they looked for the funniest or sex¬ iest clothing they could find. Then, they searched for jewelry and accessories to complete their outfits. Donning their borrowed finery, they put aside their pride so that they could participate in the Boys’ Beauty Pageant, an annual spring event. Each candidate, in turn, flounced across the stage in the Little Theater in an attempt to Guys Can Be Real Dolls win the votes of the judges. In the meantime, spectators in the packed theater hooted and roared as they identified the strangely attired male con¬ testants. Their costumes ranged from shortie nighties to bathing suits and boots. The seniors raised money from this event to help pay for the senior dinner, a banquet of steak, potatoes, salad and dessert. The participants in the beauty pageant were sponsored by a class or club. During an intermission, Junior Paige and Keith Webb played their guitars and sang “Dixie Land Delight.” As the contestants changed clothing, the “Van Halets” entertained the crowd by singing and danc¬ ing to “California Girls.” Then, the crowd roared with laughter again as one of the “Pointed Sisters,” Shawn Hash, attired in a miniskirt and boots, tried to ride a minibike across the stage. Pat Hill and Donald Scott, the other “Pointed Sisters,” and George Penn, as “Sheila G,” played the drums and ran art mnd behind the minibike. The judges deliberated a long time as they tried to choose the right boy girl to fit the catego- ] ries: Most Comical; Best Body; and Mr. P.C.H.S. After the I candidates modeled, pranced, j and answered questions, Mr. I Mickey Hickman, emcee, j announced that Mr. P.C.H.S. j was Lamont Taylor. “Tina Taylor” had been selected as the “The Ba Idest Boy of All.” With ladylike touches, the guys strut; their stuff, hoping to win Mr. P.C.H.S. 18 — Boys’ Beauty Pageant
