Homecoming '68 Ends in Viotorg Beginning the T968 Homecoming celebration was the first roar of the bonfire, held on Thursday night, October 3. Led by Mr. Hartsell, the team and spectators sang the fight song. As time approached for the Homecoming football game, enthusiastic students packed the stands to support their team. Half-time neared and the scoreboard registered South Lenoir 19, Jones Central 6. Half-time ceremonies began as escorts guided excited girls, sponsored by the many varied clubs and organizations, onto the field to form a half-circle. The game ended as the Rebels crushed the Rockets 32-20. To the ring of the victory bell, elated students, tired but happy, crowded into Munn Gym, where radiant Shelby Shepherd escorted by Charles Barrow and sponsored by the FHA, was crowned Homecoming Queen of '68 by Co- captain Jimmy Smith. Co-captain Frankie Rackley presented the new queen with a bouquet of red roses and a kiss. The Entertainers played The Sweetheart Dance in honor of the newly crowned queen. The dance, sponsored by the Monogram Club, ended a memorable night. Right: Fearfully, Queen Shelby Shepherd dances the first dance with her escort Charles Barrow.

Activities. Athletics. and Festivities Ar To break the monotony of classes and homework, students find pleasure by par- ticipating in sports, activities, and festivi- ties and the chapel programs presented during school days by such speakers as Nicky Cruz. Nicky, a native Puerto Rican, grew up in the ghettos of New York as a gangster. Cheerleaders add spirit to the school day and lead the football players to victory with the support of the students. Con- tributing to choral programs and Harvest Festival activities, band members lend their support to the school. Then the crowning of Miss South Lenoir, a glow- ing Brenda Daniels, seated on an ivory throne and surrounded by twenty-three members of their court, brings pageantry to school life.
