of A bo DECISIONS Senior Girls Are Treated Like Royalty l Following the newest tradition of selecting a queen and two princesses, another change also af- fected Homecoming this year. Eleven girls were nominated for the honor of becoming queen instead of the usual ten because of a tie. On Tuesday, September 23, the Senior class selected the eleven nominees. They were Carla Baucom, jimmi Bell, Amy Bowers and Daidre Bronson. Also nominated were Amy Dickey, jennifer Fuhrmann, Suzanne Glover and Miki Hicks. Others included Meredith Jennings, Mindy Mangum and Janis Worrell. The girls shopped in numerous towns during this week to find the perfect dress to wear to the presentation to the student body during Fridays pep- rally. They also shopped for that extra special outfit to wear during pre-game activities. The week prior to Homecoming was very busy, but it was a lot of fun. My mother and I went to Dallas and found my outfit at Valley View Mall, Janis Worrell, senior, said. On Friday, October 3, the student body voted for the Queen. That night at 7 o'clock the girls walked down the 50-yard line and through the archway where they were presented a yellow rose by a cheerleader. The princesses were Amy Dickey and jen- nifer Fuhrmann. Clay johnson, student body president, crowned Mindy Mangum as the l986 Queen. . '. , TENSENESS.

DECISIONS Activities Create Special Excitement The bonfire, Homecom- ing queen election, pep ral- ly, and football game started off Homecoming week, September 29- October 5, with more ex- citement than any previous year. Guys worried about what to put on their date's mum and how much money to spend while girls desperately tried to Hnd something suitable to wear. I ended up going to Dallas to buy my outfit. It seems more money is spent than usual at Homecoming because it is a special time of year, Kristin Irvin, freshman, said. The bonfire, put together by the Key Club, was held on Tuesday night. Many people came to watch as the huge pile of wood turned into a blazing fire. The mini-parade highlighted the Homecom- ing pep rally. Floats were decorated by school clubs who were competing for the award money given. Winners were Most Beautiful Cheerleaders, Best Use of Theme, Cat's Tale, Most Original, Senior Class, and the Sweepstakes Award, Drama Club. For each category, S525 was awarded to the winner.
