Spirit Shines Through The spirit of Homecoming exploded in Rockbridge’s halls with full force. Excitement and anticipation swept over the student body, generating en- thusiasm that soared throughout the week. Wednesday night, the JV football team defeated Natural Bridge by a score of 14 to 8. Following the game, many students crowded around a blaz- ing fire, which was a part of a special pep-rally, and displayed their spirit. When an effigy of a Shawsville 62 Homecoming Shawnee was burned, it amplified the already high spirits of RHS students. Friday night arrived, and en- thusiasm peaked as many fans arrived to watch the contest between the Rebels and the Shawnees. The two teams battled until half-time, when the Shawnees held a 3-0 score over Rockbridge. During half-time, a ra- diant Carol Clements, escorted by Buddy Fitzgerald, was crowned Homecoming Queen.

Medieval Glory On the second of May, the Rockbridge High School gymnasium metamorphosed into a medieval castle to serve as host to the 1987 Junior Senior Prom. Decorations centered around the theme “‘The Glory of Love.’’ From the song, the junior class selected the lyrics “ .. . like a knight in shining ar- mor from a long time ago. . . take me to your castle far away ...” and decorated accordingly. The 1987 Prom assumed the same basic form as its predecessors. But a new tradition began with the first ever Rockbridge Prom King and Queen. Miss Teresa Sorrells and Mr. Corey Tomlin were the individuals to receive this honor. Couples were kept dancing throughout the evening by the Kevin Reynolds Band. Between the stone walls, adorned with medieval tapestries and a coat of arms, juniors, 64 Prom seniors and their dates enjoyed the music and entertainment of the band. As the evening progressed, the hours passed quickly for most. The time spent talking, laughing, eating and dancing drew to a close and students left to attend after-prom festivities. Some attended private par- ties, while others opted to go to the SADD sponsored breakfast at the Timber Ridge Community Building. Although the attendance at the breakfast was small, those who stopped by would probably agree that they were in the presence of both good food and company. Even though many would have wished for the night to last, it had to come to an end. The Juniors’ months of planning and hard work paid off. As quoted by Senior Lisa Tomlin, ‘‘It was a night to be remembered. Many thanks to Juniors who made the prom worthwhile.” Escorting Renee Richie across tt drawbridge is Senior Andrew Johnson. Couples enjoy the romantic music of the Kevir Reynolds Band. The band kept “prom-goers’ on their feet by providing a wide variety of To] 40 hits.
