Homecoming Week Brightens the SW Campus Homecoming Week, October 25th through the 29th, brightened the Southwest Campus as candidates for Homecoming Queen and Mr. Southwest campaigned for their titles with eye- catching signs and buttons On Tuesday, prizes for creative hats and shades were awarded. Wednesday Kagoshima Day, Japanese educators bom- barded the campus observing our learning systems. But Thursday, Punk Rock Day proved to be the most interesting as galores of students decked themselves in slinky clothes. On Friday, the campus returned fo jeans and jerseys for the Homecoming pre-spirit stick pep rally The Homecoming theme, ‘Ribbons in the Sky,”’ was carried through beautifully in all buildings. The Juniors had the winning building, with big blue ribbons and puffy clouds on the doors, long signs bearing the theme hanging on walls, and bulletin boards decorated with the band members’ names and the foorball players numbers. Second place winners, the Seniors, used the idea of an airplane flying through the sky with a long ribbon trailing behind. Airplanes appeared everywhere on doors, posters, and even hanging from the ceiling. The Sophomores decorated with huge white bows everywhere, in- cluding bulletin boards and doors At the game Friday night, the halftime show featured the most excitement with the announcement of the Homecoming Queen, Patty Bradley, and Mr. Southwest, Andre Jones. Central has had a female representative until this year. For the first time in Macon’s history, a high school had a male Homecoming Queen, Rob Anderson.

Orange Crush Week, November first through fifth, featured a series of ac tivities leading to the game against our biggest rivals, the Central Chargers. Throughout the week, students all over campus bought paraphernalia such as pom-poms, spirit hands, ribbons, and voo-doo dolls for the big game. On Jeans and Jersey Day, the entire cam- pus was covered with red, white, and Thursday night, Central was burned alive by a group of spirited and roaring Patriots at the annual Southwest bonfire. Friday, students were asked to wear black because of the big funeral for Central during fifth period when our own ‘Father Murphy’’ bellowed out his powerful words of inspiration.
