J IN STUDENT LIFE Events remain routine from year to year but the style of each changes. Graduation, homecoming, dances and plays fell naturally into place on the calendar while individuals added their own touch to make these affairs special. Crowning Sheryl Maley as Belle topped off Homecoming, just as Mark Jackson’s honor of Mr. SM high- lighted the Snowball Dance. Under the direction of Mrs. Jody Cunningham, the junior and senior class presented Her Maiestv. Miss Jones in April three weeks prior to the annual prom at the Parkers- burg Holiday Inn. Extra effort at school functions, as well as in the community, made special memories to treasure, and allowed this year's events to Move In Style. CINDY BULLMAN, Belle candidate, watches the pep thuse in anticipation of Home- coming night. HANDS UP APPROVAL comes from a group of students at a boys’ basketball game. Fans showed their support at all athle- tic functions. Divider m

oment neared. The feelings were of anxiety, excitement, and anticipation to see if this year’s Homecoming would be as special as all the rest. The result made Homecoming 1987 a success. Spirit was visible as students took part in specified dress days. Monday was opposing colors day. Tuesday was twin day, and Wednesday was jersey day. Thursday was dress up day, while Friday was purple and gold day. “I thought spirit week was a lot of fun and many people participated,” stated Doug Poling. Float building also began on Monday of the same week. The freshmen class built their float at Kenny Hall’s home. They enti- tled their float “Swat the Jackets. The sophomores used the main- tenance building to build their float, “Deem Clean the Jackets” which won them for the second year in a row the first place honor. “Winning first place in the float competition was a great accom- plishment for our class. I hope we can keep the tradition of winning first place every year,” stated Joey Haddox. The juniors captured second place with their float “Zap the Jackets.” It was built in the Vo-Ag building. The seniors finished last with their entry, “Jam the Jackets” which was built in Jim McKnight’s barn.
