HOMECOMING DANCE HIGHLIGHTS WEEK’S ACTIVITIES Scott Hines shows spirit is flying high. All the pageantry of Homecoming started on Monday. Monday was Backwards Day. There were people walking around everywhere with their clothes reversed. Tuesday was Pajama Day. Students and teachers were walking around in their bedclothes. At noon in the cafeteria, it was more like eating breakfast than lunch. Wednesday was Opposite Day. There were guys dressed like girls, and some guys were not that bad looking! The girls were dressed like blue-collar workers and gang members. Thursday was Punk-out Day. Orange or purple hair, multi-striped clothes, and outlandish hairstyles were just some of the occurrences. People had to wear sunglasses just to protect their eyes from the bright colors. Friday was the big day. Everyone wore black and gold. The people in the halls looked like a swarm of bumblebees. The juniors and sophomores won the week long tape contest. After school was dismissed at 2:15, there was a parade. Classes and many of the clubs had floats. The football teams, cross country teams, volleyball team, cheerleaders, pom-pon squad, and the marching band all participated in the parade. The parade was climaxed by a big pep rally downtown. Although spirit was high, the team lost the game. At halftime it was learned that Art Club was the first place float and Latin Club was the second place float in the clubs division. The Freshmen won first place and the Sophomores won second place in the class floats. Coronation followed the game. After the introduction of the football players and their escorts, it was learned that Dena Pickett and Justin Walker had become Homecoming Queen and King. They led the first dance while Chaos played “Open Arms . The band continued to play until after 1:00 am. All in all, the 1983 Homecoming was both exciting and memorable. Ronnie Davis shares his feelings about the Warriors. Students show support for Warriors. Julie K. and Justin W. pause during festivities. 8
