Homecoming 777 — A new look “Homecoming King?!”’ “Sure! It’s only fair for the guys to share in some of the glory!” Instead of voting only on a Homecoming Queen, students also elected a King. This is the revival of a practice used several years ago, but it was new to us. Excitement flowed through the stu- dent body the week of the Homecom- ing game. By Friday afternoon, stu- dents could hardly stay in their seats while waiting for the bell to ring for the pep rally. As game time rolled around, the stands were packed and Rustburg stocking caps were seen everywhere. “T had to park nearly a half a mile away! How’d you get such a good seat?” “T’ve been here since 6:30, that’s how!” “Hey kid! Quit throwing popcorn!”’ At halftime, the scoreboard read HOME 22, VISITORS, 6. All right! The Homecoming Court assembled on the field and excitement filled the air. Who was crowned King and Queen for Homecoming ’77? Mike Markham and Suzanne Harvey!! As the game resumed, our team was still going strong! “Way to go defense! Show those Nelson County Governors your stuff!” At the end of the game, the final score was 38 to 12. Another victory for the Devils! Was there ever any doubt? King and Queen, Mike Markham and Suzanne Harvey are crowned during halftime of the Homecoming football game. 14 Homecoming
