Senior Lisa Sperry and Sophomore Ricky Snellings clown around after the circus competitions during Homecoming week. Greatest Show he first ever appearance of the “Greatest Show on Earth’’, Homecoming 1985, was the week- end of September 27-28, at Spotsylvania High School. Wrapped around the home- coming game itself were more events — and competitions — than Knights could shake a spirit stick at. Wednesday the pregame festivities start- ed when Inside Out day raised the cur- tain on Spirit Days. It was an old favor- ite with a new twist. Classes competed with each other for star billing on a two- page photo in this year’s TRAIL, as well as a long-term contract on the spirit stick. As the curtain closed on Day One, the sophomores held center stage by three percentage points. The day started off on Thursday, Circus Costume Day, with the whimsical de- lights provided by a multitude of circus performances parading in the front hall during homeroom. Senior Lisa Sperry and Freshman Ricky Snellings won the 1985 Best Costume Award, presented by the Latin Club, for their realistic por- trayal of circus clowns. It was again a closely fought competition, but as the bell rang for first period the Seniors had forged ahead by four percentage points in the spirit competition. After experiencing two great perfor- mances on Wednesday and Thursday the student body was geared up for a nail- biting, cliff-hanging, final act. But Hurricane Gloria stole the show on Frt- day morning and resulted in school can- cellation. So — it rained on our parade you say? In the finest tradition of stage and screen 10 Homecoming
