Homecoming 72 This year’s homecoming activities were co-ordinated by Jody Moody, the S.C.A. Program Chairman. Also, various clubs and organizations sponsored additional activities. The festivities began Friday afternoon with an assembly — pep rally, where the homecoming court was introduced. Each class had two representatives on the court, except the Senior class, which had three. At four, the parade, with the theme “The Future Belongs To Us”, began. It was led by the Grand Marshals Mr. and Mrs. Owen Duncan. There were seven floats participating in the float competition. First prize went to the Art Club “Shaping the Future”, Second place to the F.B.L.A. “Tomorrow Happens Today’, and third place to the Beta Club, with the theme ‘‘We have Met the Enemy and He Is Us”’. The game that night was next on the agenda. Even the cold, wet weather didn’t keep people from turning out for the event. There was a fine half-time show and Sandy Carden was crowned Homecoming Queen. We lost to Nelson County in the last few minutes of the game, with a final score of 23-20. Disappcintment over the outcome of the game was made up for by the Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the S.C.A. The Dyna-tones played and it was a memorable Homecoming for everyone. 12 Student Life Junior class representative Rita Adams and her escort Greg Milner on the field during half-time.
