Homecoming: An occasion that lasted a week. aking [t Special Special Moment The crowning of John Wilcox and Tracy Sulli- van as Homecoming king and queen highlights the halftime celebration. Afterward, John and Tracy stepped to the center of the football field to be recognized as the band played the school’s Alma Mater. Spirit Boosters The J.V. cheerleaders pile in the back of sopho- more principal Coleman Starnes’ truck during the Homecoming parade. To excite the specta- tors they scream, shout and release balloons into the evening sky. On Monday before Homecom- ing, most students didn’t know what was ahead for the week. Their main concern on this day was dressing in the most casual work-out wear. On toga day the students became more aware, but David Sims’ only question was, “Did you see how some of those girls were dressed?!”’ After a flash of trenchcoats and a multitude of nerds, people were primed to cut loose in the Any- thing Goes competition. On Friday the seniors sported their class T- shirts. A splash of blue and gold streamed down every hallway and lunchline. When Friday night rolled around, those who wanted to could enjoy a spaghetti dinner sponsored by the Key Club. This was the peak of the week for foot- ball players. They downed their pile of noodles like it was their last meal. Lineman Greg Wellerman re- torted, “I only had one plateful!”’ Pasta provided the power for runners to twist free and receivers Bruised Bodies and Tired Tonsils After a grueling first half, football players and cheerleaders lay back and anxiously wait for the completion of halftime activities. to make spectacular catches. The action-packed game had specta- tors on the edge of their seats. The enthusiasm continued as the floats that had been furiously worked on weeks before rolled by. As the select members of the senior class stepped off their float, the crowd suddenly fell from screams and chants to utter silence. The time came for the crowning of the king and queen as Principal Samuel Cox stepped out to the cen- ter of the field with a microphone. John Wilcox and Tracy Sullivan had been elected king and queen. Compared to the halftime high, enthusiasm dwindled as the team fell to a 35-21 defeat to Stonewall Jackson. Waking up late Saturday morn- ing after partying Friday night meant that there were just a few hours to prepare for the dance. Af- ter the male students found the homes of their dates and corsages and boutonnieres had been pinned on, it was off to an enchanted candlelight dinner. Scot Kelly continued Among the Roses The French Club float surrounded Julie Taylor with its theme: the Mardis Gras in France and the Winter Carnival in Canada. Floats with holiday celebrations as their theme enlightened the crowd during foot- ball game festivities. Homecoming 4 3
