omn Sr Dinner lanes The stadium was filled to near capacity. People sat in the aisles. Cameras clicked as the scorching sun blazed down. What attracted these 5000 spectators? The moment parents and students had awaited for 12 years had arrived. The bicentennial class had reached graduation. Graduation came alive as Reid McLaughlin gave a reminiscent speech about going to school together since elementary school. Wearing a Mickey Mouse cap, Reid threw paper planes while remembering the days of Sanford Middle School and Crooms. There was some worry how this speech would be received. Some parents felt this was inappropriate for the occasion. However, more negative feedback came from parents who had to miss work to be present at graduation. Seasonal weather forced morning graduation over the alterna- tive of a limited attendance in the gym at night. Finally as the class proceeded across the makeshift stage in bicentennial gowns of red and blue, the joys and pressures of 12 years were released as 442 caps flew into the air in the climax of the day.

nu: Daw Crab Meat i 2 A M 5 'ig Shoe polish, crepe paper, and balloons embellished several hundred cars in what was the newest form of homecoming spirit. Fash- ioned after the old homecoming parades, the car rally convoyed through the downtown area and back to the school by way of Victory Lane. But that wasn't the end. The car rally was just a buildup for what was to come later that Thursday night. Class skits in the stadium strangely resembled TV commercials and programs like Welcome Back, Kotter, only they seemed to have a definite appetite for raw crabs. But the Sandcrabs weren't raw for long, as they were baked, broiled, and burned later in the two-story tall bonfire. Hopes of beating the Sea- breeze Sandcrabs set the stage for an entire week of exhausting spirit. Interclub Council tried to bring new ideas to spirit week with such themes as Club Day, Indian Day, Gangster Day and Kiddie Day. Kiddie Day brought out the most re- sponse from the student body. Since it was the easiest day to dress for, creativity overflowed. Walking to class gave way to riding tricycles for Terry Tamm and Russell Crumley. Dara Hoffman even used her child- ish ways to cajole friends to pull her to class in her undersized wagon, with her oversized teddy bear shar- ing the ride. The week's activities gave fan- fare to Friday night's game as 8000 victory-hungry fans packed the con- crete bleachers. Football victory wasn't the only victory on tap as the homecoming court anxiously awaited the crowning of the home- coming queens. ABOVE LEFT!
