Spinf Sparked and Burning for Tabb-Hampfon Homecoming Game The bonfire committee met with some opposition this year from all sides. After working hard to collect and move lumber for the fire, the football team tcwk it upon themselves to burn it after winning the Bethel game. So it was back to the construction companies and the bonfire was rebuilt with no help from the Tabb Tigers. The next obstacle was a girls basketball game scheduled for the same night. The bonfire was almost done away with completely, but the administration decided to allow a 30-minute fire. So things went according to schedule and though the bonfire lasted longer than 30 minutes it proved to be a success. There w ' as a surprisingly big turnout. Roaring flames heated up the cold night air and seemed to create excitement within the whole crowd. The Pep Band played the fight song a few times and Bruce Cunningham induced a mild pep rally after two Hampton Crabbers were thrust into the monstrous fire. Commons Transformed Info Ballroom The night of Tabb’s first Homecoming Dance was one to remember for many people. The Court and their dates, along with the ’74 Graduates of Tabb were honored guests. The commons was attractively decorated with streamers and morrors; accenting the theme. Reflections of Time. While the music of Smoke vibrated throughout the room, a mirror ball attached to the ceiling sent sparkles and shadows around the commons. Thanks to those who worked hard on preparations, and all those who participated, Homecoming weekend drew to quite a successful close. Graduates were filled with memories of the past while Seniors caught a glimpse of the day when they would see their High School Days behind them. It is often said that nostalgia and High School will always go hand in hand; and surely, at THS, the traditions like Homecoming will continue to support that. 18 S.CA BONFIRE
