Big Friday H omecoming. The night every student looked for¬ ward to. Every day something different was plan¬ ned by the cheerleaders. Monday, spirit chains were made and classes competed to see which could amass the most links. The Senior Class won with 267 links. The next day was “Hollywood Day.” Groucho Marx (Susan Dillard) attacked young men and teachers while Sonya Urquhart skipped through the halls with her teddy bear and lolli¬ pop as Shirley Temple Black. Wednesday marked “Stomp the Packers” day. Fishermen in hip boots and funny hats roamed the halls with sophisticated booted young ladies and gentlemen. A piggy Packer decorated the hall in front of Mrs. Eberwine’s office to be used by the booted hoppers. “Fifties Day” came on Thursday. Jackie Wilson appeared in pointed glasses and a long coat with her hair in a ponytail. Many of the girls came in their dad ' s shirts and rolled up jeans over white socks. All four classes worked the week before the game on their floats. The Sophomore’s “Smithfield Bar-B-Que,” an old fashioned barbecue, won first place; the seniors with their “Slice the Packers,” a giant birthday contain¬ ing a cooked Packer player, came in second. “Pick a Peck of Packers,” the junior’s float, came in third and the freshman’s “Can the Packers” was last. Big Friday rolled in with “the best pep rally I’ve ever seen said Mrs. Bailey. The skit cast Tracy Rice as a scarecrow Coach McCutchen with a team of Pat Koles- zar, Rosemary Hazelette, and Gwen Jackson as wind-up football players. The whole school won in class cheering competition. Friday night. Miss LaTonya Brown was crowned Homecoming Queen. She said, “I never expected to get it; I’ve had so much this year.”
