SEM? l ofthe BEST When Homecoming rolls around, so does the imagination of the students. Meetings, preparations, and ideas become a major part in planning for the great event. Stu- dent council sets up committees to help with the homecoming court, hall decora- tions, dance, and the reception that was held during school for exes returning to their alma mater. The Homecoming Court consisted of seven girls instead of the usual five. Our school has increased drastically in size this year, said Mrs. Mary LaCroix, Student Council sponsor. We wanted to give more girls recognition? Seniors took from 44 girls, seven that they thought would repre- sent our court the best. Tiffany Doyle, Robin Tidwell, Krisite Flippo, Valerie Cleere, Kim Free, Julie Knowlton, and Tera Sanders were nominees for this honor. At the game, Richland played its best, winning 34-0 against the Burleson Elks. The band and Dixie Belles put on an in- teresting halftime with the Spirit of Dixie performing their UIL music and the Dixie Belles performing a high kick routine. As the Heart of Dixie was formed by the Dixie Belles, excitement began to mount. When the last nominee was in- troduced to the crowd, Stephen Wilson and Carole Moon stepped up to present the one who would be named the 25th Homecom- ing Queen. The one given this honor was Valerie Cleere. Dana Mitchell. X , x -, ,K Stick em' up Preparations for omecoming began three weeks before the actual date.
