Tiger Pride comes alive Homecoming: The hustle and bustle of having it all Homecoming is a very special time for all of us. It brings us to- gether and gives us a feeling that nothing can stand in our way. The hustle and bustle of ordering mums, picking out clothes, and having everything perfect, only adds to the excitement of this bi- annual event. “Tiger Pride Comes Alive was this years Homecoming theme. And our pride did come alive as we defeated the Lamesa Golden Tornadoes, 21-14. Homecoming activities began Thursday, September 30, with the parade and pep rally at the courthouse. The Journalism Department took first prize with their “rain- bow float, Student Council took second place, and the Span- ish Club took third. Nominees for Homecoming queen were: Seniors, Ramona Murphy, escorted by Mark Cy- pert, Kami Burkett, escorted by jerry Comstock, Becky Pylant, escorted by Nolan von Roeder; Juniors: Diana Molina, escorted by, Glen Parham, Sharmon Briggs, escorted by Richard Der- reck and Laurie Donelson, es- corted by Larry Light. Most students think we should have a homecoming every year, but some think that it would be too much trouble and also too expensive. But, so far we've been happy with the tradition of only having homecoming every other year. The preparations and game stand out in our lives as special memories, and give us true meaning to “This One's Special. OFFICIALLY kicking off Home- coming with The Snake were percussionists Debra Cline, Abra- ham Lopez, Jean Anderson, and Sylvester Spells. 8 Homecoming

Homecoming Even behind the scenes it's a scream The floats have been torn down, and the buzzer has sound- ed. Homecoming is over, but not forgotten. Snyder leveled Lamesa 21-14 in the football game, and the journalism department won the float contest at the parade. One of the workers on this float was Cindy Shaw. After tearing up a float she had put so many hours into making, she said I felt our job was done. We won first place, and tearing down the float was just like cleaning up after any job. The parade and pep rally downtown was a huge success. The whole parade and event was a blast, said Shaw. Through the eyes of a first grader; though, it was a dream maker. Daniel Molina, a first grader, said, I had fun riding with the football players. I wish I could be a real football player. At the football game, halftime was a relief. The Tigers came back from a 14-0 deficit to go in at halftime leading 15-14. Then came the big moment. The an- nouncement of who was to be named Homecoming Queen. When Ramona Murphy was named Queen, she said, At first I felt like jumping up and down, but then I realized that I wouldn't look too graceful in a long dress. Then it hit me, and I was shocked! Becky Pylant, a nominee, said, I wasn't disap- pointed — it was a real honor to be a nominee. The Tigers came out and won the game 21-14. The week was capped off by a dance in the Student Center. Many ex-students were there as well as many SHS students. The underclassmen can look forward to the '84 homecoming, but it's over for the seniors and juniors. They will just have to come back for the '84. Cindy Shaw said, Too bad I won't see another homecoming at SHS.
