R.Q.Ye oLoToY i CARRIE 6' far 81219 00 Us I e Q 05,0 'Y 0017 fo 02. Changing a tradition is sometimes hard because of students' reluctance to change. This year a Homecoming queen and two Princesses were chosen. We decided since there were ten girls we should give more recogni- tion than just one queen, Mrs. Durham said. On Friday September 20, one week before the Homecoming football game, the Senior class nominated ten girls who would serve as the 1985 Homecoming court. The ten can- didates were Francie Bell, Iennifer Bell, Stacy Bowen, Michelle Brum- field, and Leann Carpenter. Also Tyra Evans, Loretta Iohnson, Patrice Ivery, jennifer Kennedy, and Carrie Wallace. The reason for nominating them a week in advance was to give them plenty of time to buy something to wear during pre-game when they would be presented to a capacit crowd and the winners announced? The Saturday after we were nominated I went to Greenville with my mom trying to find something to wear, Stacy Bowen, senior, said. The following Friday at seven o'clock every girl was lined ,u across the field getting ready to wallk down the fifty yard line and through a lattice archway where they were presented a rose by the cheerleaders. Each girl had on that special outfit that had taken a week to pick out, and every father looked as calm as possible. l am glad we are star ting the new tradition i ' 1 a V g W t K Q - princesses selected g When every grl had finally made of h in o f .

16 PEP RALLIES we they sill Mfg til Q ig, as go Wildcats! Let's Win! and Beat the Bulldogs! were just a few of the phrases heard at the exciting Wildcat pep rallies last year. Cheering the football team on to vic- tories was a job held by everyone. Pep rallies were designed to encourage the Pep rallies are great when everyone or ticiputes I think they got better after made the ploy offs Bently Ford senior students to displa their school spirit and boost the confid,ence of the football players. This was certainly the case for the '85 football season. I believe there was more spirit in the pep rallies this year than t ere has been in the four years I've been in high school. I think that the added spirit is what helped bring Sulphur Springs its first district cham- pionship in 31 years, Dean Branden- urg, senior, said. Student Life The fun, spirit-filled pep rallies got e eryone involved. Even teachers realiz- ed the im ortance of school spirit durin The Battlje of the Classes. Teachers and students, representing different classes, competed in numerous contests such as musical chairs, cheerleading contest, dress-up contest, and bobbing for apples. The juniors, winning the most contests and earning the most points, won a trophy. I had a good time playing musical chairs. The other teachers and I really felt like a art of the pep rally, Gail Herman, teacher, said.

They all combined, their talents for a s ecial performance to Boogie Down at tffe endhof the football season. Each week different football players made short speeches about the game that took place that night. The speeches were attempts to get everyone at the game.
