Homecoming At seven o'cIock Thursday, bluejean clad students started showlng up at Pickle Fleld. The raln was comlng clown pretty hard by then, so a lot of people had umbrellas. The flre was hard to get started and the splrlt even more so. A lot of people gave lt up and went home. That's when the water balloon fights started. Everybody figured since they were wet anyway, they'd join ln the fun. And joln they dld! There was hardly a dry thread on anyone by the tlme the crowd started dwindling away. It was definitely a unlque bonfire. Thursday's rain brought a slight chlll for our big day. Even though Friday was Sock It To 'Em Day, only a few people rolled their pants legs up because of the sudden change ln the weather. Rain, Rain Go Away Annual Staff members walt patiently for the signal to start unwlnding the splrlt chains. .39 .i X 5 QQ. X v' 'K N..-. .

Homecoming Homecoming Queen And Escort 78 Senlors and freshmen were really havlng a close race in splrlt chalns and noone knew who had won until the pep rally. When the annual staff rolled out the links the seniors' chaln looked longer, but everyone had heard the rumor that the freshmen had won. Mr. Baucum called out the totals starting wlth the class having the fewest llnks. The juniors were on the bottom, followed by the sophomores. By thls time freshmen and seniors were standing and screaming like crazy. Everybody in the whole school was caught up In the battling mood. Even though the freshmen had more people on their side, lt dldn't help them too much because they still came ln second. The seniors had preserved tradltlon by wlnnlng agaln. After the vlctory cheers, the judges announced the seniors as double vlctors by awarding them the splrlt stlck. Wlth Mr. Baucum's famous words, You have ten mlnutes, everyone dispersed from the gym and moved on to slxth period, where they sat anxiously awaltlng the 2:55 bell which put us a little closer to the ballgame. At 6:15 those partlclpatlng ln the Homecoming ceremony began arrlvlng at Perk. At seven sharp the band flled on the fleld, flanked by the flags as hula girls wlth Hawallan flowers ln their hair and around their ankles. As the cheerleaders passed the stands on their float, they threw mlnature footballs to the crowd, trylng to get them fired up for the game. Then came the Homecoming Float, a tropical paradlse filled with exotlc birds, lush green plants, a grass shack at the base of the volcano and the lovely Queen wlth her Hawallan maidens. Durlng the Falr Parade, Rosa Lott and her Hawallan maids smile for the crowd. 38 Student L lfelHomecomIng x, ts, A Wy. 5. is 44' ,ar Rosa Lott Ricky Stone ,ff-f ' is
