Southern goes all out’ for Big time fun and excitement When spirit week came for football Homecoming, South- ern’s faculty and students joined in on the fun. Charnell Walkling (12) commented on spirit week: “I’m proud to see all the dedication our school puts into spirit week and | hope they do even better in the years to come.” One spirit day was crazy hair day. Joell Simmons (10) said, “It was very interesting to see how the people wore their hair although I didn’t have the nerve to do it. They had guts!”’ Nerd day brought out the taped and broken glasses, and fifties and sixties clothing. Many students and teachers joined together to psych up the team for the Homecoming game against Keyser. On October 2, 1987, not even a starless cloudy sky with rain coming down could stop enthusiastic Southern fans from gathering 1 2 hour before the game. When the game started, the team came roaring out of the athletic building and onto the field, jumping into a huge pile. Senior cheerleader Robbin Damon said, ‘‘Cheering with the crowd and keeping them psyched up is very important. It helps keep the team going.” It did just that. Southern wiped out the Keyser Tornadoes and racked up their fifth win in a row. The Homecoming dance was October 3, 1987, with ap- proximately 140 students attending. The school cafeteria was decorated with silver and red streamers, balloons, and red carnations on every table. The theme song was Honestly, by Stryper. Junior Dawn McCartin said, ‘It was a terrific chance to spend time with friends without getting in trouble.” Lori McCain (12) was asked how she felt about being on the court. Her reply was, “I’m shocked.” She went on to say, “‘I never thought anyone would vote for me.” The dance lasted until 11:00 pm. When everyone was gone, so were most of the decora- tions. It’s thought that it was the students’ way to remember this special time of their life. % x y gy i a
