Taylored Homecoming for Class of ’81 The thrill of Homecoming vic- tory lingered long after the mums had wilted and the tired muscles healed, for it was only the second victory in five years. Losses have plagued the mighty Bulldogs in traditional Home- coming games. It took courage this time, and it was there! Winning became a theme for those elected to represent their classmates as well as those who spent hours marching in the band or practicing on the foot- ball field. Smiles told the story of Homecoming. Even the Com- ing Home Queen, Janice Hicks had fond things to say about the parade and the game. Focus was on joy, happiness, elation, spirit and hard work, but behind it all was a sense of sadness. It would be the final homecoming for the class of 1981. Their last chance to shine, to set their mark, to create a memory just for their class. So much was done, so much said, so much made for the future.
