The annual homecoming parade began Due to inclement weather the parade was almost canceled,'but the sun shone through the dark clouds and the “show went on”. “Even though the weather was not so great, marching in the parade was still fun and it allowed for the entire school to be a part of the Homecoming activities,” commented Becky McLaughlin. After the parade the cheerleaders sponsored a thuse. Burt Reed was announced the winner of the Sexy Legs Contest. The junior class was named the loudest at the thuse and the senior class won the Spirit Award. Rain dampened the air, but not the spirits at the football game against Williamstown that night. Although the Devils were trail- ing as they entered the locker-room at halftime, it had no effect on the crowds enthusiasm as the five Belle candidates were brought onto the field. As each candidate and her escort took their designat- ed place in front of the stands, the crowd suddenly grew quiet. A voice from high up in the press box announced Sheryl Maley as the 34th Belle of St. Marys as the fans errupted with applause. “I thought any of the other four candidates were just as deserving as I, therefore I was really surprised when they announced my name. I am appreciative and thankful for the honor,” stated Sheryl. After the ceremony the gridders charged from the locker room with determination etched on their faces. However, the victory was handed to the Yellow Jackets when the Devils failed to gain enough points for the win. I thought we played pretty decent, but they had a tough team and really had it together that night,” commented Bryan Fetty.

“A best friend should be willing to share your happy times as well as help you through the tough times no matter how bad things may get,” commented Tana Lewis. Ninety-three per cent of students surveyed had best friends. Although they may have had many good friends, they felt that having one special friend was important. Best friends were not limited to persons of the same sex or age. “My best friend is my wife because 1 can tell her anything,” commented Mr. John Armstrong. Thirty-six percent of the stu- dents surveyed said that their best friend was of the opposite sex. Serena Talkington stated that Bryan Wise was her best friend because “We have so much in common and our personalities match well.” Many people didn't have just one best friend. They had many good friends. “I don’t have just one best friend; I have many good friends. I like them because they are fun to be with and easy to talk to,” stated sophomore Erika Watson. Hanging out after school, going to the movies, and shopping were just some of the activities that friends shared. “A friend is a person that you can trust and just be yourself with. I enjoy being with all my friends. We always have a lot of fun when we’re together,” stated Jenny Wince. RICK REMISH and BEST FRIENDS ME- Harry Kidder examine a L1SSA DAILEY and skclton.
