Homecoming Is Victory Homecoming was unquestionably the highlight of the football season. The Yellow Jackets were vic- torious as well as Sarah Smith, who was crowned queen. Before the game each of the thirteen sponsors were escorted to their seats to watch the game. Excitedly, the girls viewed a spectacular game. During the half-time the suspense was broken when Mr. Kenneth Rickenbacker, aided by the flower girl, Susan Rhett Culclasure, crowned Sarah Smith queen. Sarah sponsored for Tommy Hodge. Janice Bolton, sponsored by Joe Tidwell, was chosen first runner-up. Second half play proved to be just as thrilling as the first half. After the Jacket 34-6 victory over Blackville, the homecoming scene moved to the gym where the Annual Staff sponsored a swinging Homecoming Dance complete with psychedelic lights. The SANDS OF TIME provided the music which kept everyone dancing until the end. REVEALING THE PATRIOTISM of our school, “Old Glory” was raised before each game. SARAH’S HAPPINESS is shared by the other sponsors as they eagerly congratulate the new queen.

Powder Puff Players Ponder Prudent Positions Despite a fantastic effort, the seniorr'survived and proved themselves invincible, smothering the ju- niors in the Powder Puff football game. At first, both teams ran wildly on the field, but the seniors gathered their forces and, bingo, scored a touch- down with the seniors repeating their scoring ef- fort several times, the game ended in a score of 26-0. But! Other events captured the attention of the on-lookers. The cheerleaders combined their spastic abilities with their “original” cheers creating an amusing spectacle. During the half, the sponsors for the juniors appeared. Homecoming queen, Wayne Mack, was presented “her” bouquet of cotton bolls, and being defenseless, was kidnapped by the seniors cheerleaders who swept “her” away in their Model A. After-effects of the battle between the juniors and seniors became clearly visible, with the evolu- tion of knee knots, bruises, and sprained fingers and ankles. REVOLUTIONARY senior cheerleader, Jerry Wiles, ad- justs his bifocals. THE BAMBOOZLED BAND awakes from its dampened position.
