Unlike the usual football game, tonight the con- cern lies with halftime and the crowning of the 1978 Homecoming Queen. As the second quarter draws to a close, the attendants prepare for the parade onto the field. The band begins its march and silence sweeps through the audience. Smiling young hope- fuls take their assigned positions. The suspense was unbearable and, finally, everyone was relieved when Miss Jennie Lee Holloman was announced Home- coming Queen 1978. To top the evening off-, Octo- ber 13, 1978, the Blue Devils came through with a victory over Pageland 16-15. 19
