Pat Sullivan became the first Superdog. Other class super- dogs were Brian Nola, Bam- Bam Watkins, and Jerry Shep- herd. It was a new way of spark- inq more interest in Homecom- ing. New traditions seem to be the thing with Homecoming. For the first time a Coming Home Queen” was selected. The one requirement was that she had to be a graduate of one of the high schools in Taylor County and be attending the football game Fri- day evening. Each female gradu- ate’s name was placed in a large box and the Sheriff drew the lucky name. The first Homecom- ing Coming Home Queen is Jan Odom. Even though the Wakulla Eagles lit on the Bulldogs and wouldn’t leave, everyone had a terrific Homecoming Week. The decora- tions, the parade, the royalty, the class reunion, and the Alumni Band all helped to make a suc- cessful week. The loss by the players was 19 to 8, but every- one tried to forget until next week. Homecoming was defi- nitely up and coming in '79. 19

The King’s attendants were Mark Fraser, Dave Peck, Pat Sulli- van, Bruce Allbritton and Rus- sell Cannon. All are members of the Senior Class and were elected by their class. A new tradition was initiated by the cheerleaders and this was the selection of a Superdog. Each class selected its candidate and all week placed money in his money can. The catch was that pennies were negative votes. In all the competition was extremely keen between the Senior and Freshman classes but the Sen- iors won. 18
