Homecoming coordinator Kelly Jones briets photographer Jack Morgan on the position of the Court members prior to the halftime ceremonies Homecoming. The return of the parade Homecoming ’79 turned out to be one of the best surprises of the year. For the first time in three years, the parade was Homecoming’s main attraction, and with great success. Leading the parade were Dr. George Nolley, the new Campbell County School Superinten- dent, and Carter Elliott, Grand Marshals of the Homecoming parade. Once again, the Lynchburg Antique Car Club chauffeured the Court representatives and the Grand Marshals. A few changes in the traditional Homecoming made a world of difference in this year’s celebra- tion. One such change in Homecoming was that representatives in the Homecoming Court could be represen- tatives only once, and could not be in the Court again until their senior year. This rule brought many new faces into the Court this year. Kelly Jones, S.C.A. President and Homecoming’s organizer, led the Homecoming half-time festivities with the announcement of the winners of the float competition. First place went to the DECA float, second to the Art Club, and third to the Sophomore class. Winners were chosen for their outstanding inter- Homecoming King Steve Farmer congratulates Queen Sharon Shanaberger to signal the end of the halftime festivities. Homecoming 17

County and a lot of high spirits on the part of the student body. Homecoming wound up its good times with a disco-dance featuring the “Disco Addicts.” The students boogied for hours, wanting to make Homecom- ing last just a little longer. Although it did have to end, Homecoming ’79 will be remembered. Homecoming °’79 came off beautifully, due to a lot of hard work on the part of the S.CA, and a lot of cooperation on the part of the student body. A little effort made Homecoming 79 worthwhile. Attempts to pin a slightly-oversized diaper into place keep Joni Fisher occupied, while Teresa Hiser and Leah Keesee look on.
