to take a backseat to Homecom- ing preparations as classes la- bored furiously at their floats, each class hoping to win the float competition. The seniors were working especially hard to create a first place float. “We had lost the float competition every year; this was our last chance. We wanted it bad, so we worked hard!” commented senior class President Dick Futrell. But float construction in the Vocational Labs after school was also, as one freshman stated, a hubbub of flirting, gossiping, and wast- ing time. Dressing up for Spirit Week added more fun to the hectic days. New Wave day proved that everybody had a little punk in them; miniskirts and mohawks were common sights. On Cos- tume Day the halls were jam- med with frogs, apple trees, gorillas, and even E.T.! Friday evening activities be- gan with the annual Key Club spaghetti dinner in the school cafeteria. Students ate quickly and moved to the football sta- dium to put last minute touches on class float entries. Cameras flashed as proud parents pre- served memories of the perfect evening. At halftime, the music of the band filled the stadium as flag girls and baton twirlers mar- ched exuberantly onto the field while anxious players and fans looked on. Following the band was the colorful parade of floats 12 Homecoming where each class proudly dis- played its moving illustrations of the four seasons theme. As the floats arrived at the fifty-yard line, class representitives stepped off the floats to be recognized. After an anxious moment, Larry Dick- inson and Dori Ford were crowned King and Queen. The completion of the halftime ac- tivities led to the jubilant twenty-one to six victory over Stonewall Jackson. Friday night partying ended all too soon, and the reality of Saturday morning came as a shock to those who had to be ready for the dance that night. At eight o'clock, blushing young ladies showing off their new dresses pranced eagerly into the cafeteria, accompanied by their dates. As the band started to play, inhibitions were lost and high-heeled shoes and choking ties were tossed be- hind chairs. Twosomes paraded onto the dance floor, and as Cherie Sawtelle remarked, “The band played good dancing mu- sic.’’ Flushed faces sipped pineapple punch, and butter mints were eaten by the thousands. All too quickly the lights came i on and the music ceased. Ex- hausted couples plodded into the cold air. After the long prepa- ration, the short celebration was over. ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK. Scott Small and Mary Druzbick move to the sounds of the Richmond band, BURGANDII. tet eta gee ang
