'fi' Homecoming '79 Ashes and accolades, boots and boosters, crowns and crepe paper! Once a year the tedium of learning the A-B-Cs gives way to celebrating the traditions and innovations of Homecoming. From the sound of the 8:30 bell on Monday morning until the strains of the last melody at the Victory Dance at midnight on Friday, excitement prevades the air. This year Twirp Week set the scene for the show-off in everyone. Duck tails, pony tails, bobby sox and leather jackets of Fifties Day gave way to blue jeans and boots on Western Day. A sea of maroon and white on Spirit Day became a wave of somber black on Mourn the Trojans Day. Picture Day kept everyone waiting in line for a mirror and a turn in front of the camera. And the sophomores showed the other classes how to decorate a hall expertly. Pick-ups loaded with scavengers scoured the town for legal i?j timber for the big bon- fire. As the motley pile of burnables climbed, so did the spirit at SHS. Then, alas, an arsonist's match fused the mass leaving a smoldering pile of rubble. Their accumulation was burned up, but so was the student body! An all-out effort was made, and at the appointed hour never was a bigger or better bonfire lit to spark courage in the hearts of the Pirates and delight in the hearts of their supporters. Formals, flowers and football! The big night had arrived and while the battling Pirates pre- pared to meet the enemy, the Homecoming Court took the field to crown The Queen. Ten- sion became tears as Debbie Nino donned the royal robe and tiara and accepted the arm bou- quet or red roses. Although the game score was not larger on the home side of the scoreboard, the Pirates did not leave the field dispirited. The enthusi- astic support of the band, pep squad, and drill team cheered them to the dressing room unbowed. The Homecoming Dance bade farewell to yet another observance of long established customs. As students and exes straggled out by twos, the doors of Sinton High School closed on the last faint notes of the band and on Homecoming '79, for it would be no more. In its place will be Homecoming '80. activities-11
