igns of a memorable week One particular Monday was not nearly as dreaded as most. It was Monday, October 19th, the first day of Homecoming Week. To start the week out in com¬ fort, Monday was declared as Sweats Day. Everyone came to school looking as if they made a pit stop while out for a jog. Tues¬ day brought students in shorts, tanktops, flip-flops, and sunglasses for Back to Summer Day. One might have been found digging through his attics in search of his parents’ old clothes for the Fifties and Sixties Day on Wednesday. The next day students arrived in their best attire for Dress to Impress Day. The week culminated in Spirit Day on Friday when gold and burgundy shone throughout the school. Also during the week, students busied themselves with locker bank decorations, showcases and floats, all of which were “Signs of the Times.” As Friday’s Pep Rally began, faculty and underclassmen stood as Seniors made their traditional entrance into the gym, most sport¬ ing Cougar colors and sunglasses. Cougar roars filled the air as Mr. Hickman asked for proof of atten¬ dance. “I like the pep rally be¬ cause it brought out everyone’s spirit. We really got fired up!” recalled ninth grader Rhonda Young. Another ceremonial event most students anticipated was the Third Annual Kiss the Pig contest. Students had voted for best pig puckerer from the senior varsity football team by digging for quar¬ ters earlier in the week. The three finalist were Mark Frank, James Whitaker and Tim Mannon. The glorious pig appeared. Tim and Crusin’ in class. Riding in style, Jeff Por¬ terfield is paraded around the gym. Senior style. The award-winning senior showcase was displayed in the commons area. 10 — Homecoming

cont. igns of the time Mark let out a huge sigh of relief when the unlucky James Whit¬ aker was announced as winner. Other winners included seniors for locker banks and class float. Showcase award was a tie be¬ tween seniors and sophomores, who also took the spirit and Cougar Pride winnings. VICA won for club float. Excitement was everywhere as the evening game approached, and fans arrived early at County Stadium for good seats. Joyous cheers accompanied the Cougars as they spin into action on the field. During half-time, the Golden Cougar Marching Band performed an exciting routine. Homecoming Court was presented as the ladies’ motorcade circled the field with Corvettes provided by the Corvette Club. Fathers es¬ corted their daughters onto the field as their names came clearly over the loud speaker. The game continued as the team brought us to victory with a 17-0 win over the Northside Vikings. On Saturday evening, couples danced the night away as they watched videos on a giant video screen. Homecoming banners and floats added to the atmo¬ sphere as an enchanting and memorable week came to an end. Let the midnight never come. With smiles on their faces, Stacy Dalton and Brad White dance the night away. Dancing the night away. Music fills the ears of Leo Akers and Tina Hill as they dance to popular tunes. Let the music begin. Under the conduction of Greg Burchum. The Cougar Band pre¬ sents the half-time performance. Dance, dance, dance. Moving to the beat of the music, Jackie Lovem dances with her escort, Kenny Myers. 12 — Homecoming
