Homecoming sports variet Homecoming festivities began on Tuesday with some Seniors dress- ed up with glittering faces and frizzy hair, but this fad didn't last long. The Punk Rockers found themselves sent to the office for counseling on the dress code. This isn't normally done, but Punk Rock wasn't on the agenda for homecoming. Wednesday came and everyone dressed western from their hats down to their boots. One of the highlights of the week was the first annual Candlelight Pep Rally. The students along with the cheerleaders and the VHS jazz Band provided spirit for the football players. Stingarees left with a feeling of determination! Finally, the big day arrived, Friday. The halls were filled with red and white. After a week of anticipation, the night began with Lorrie Soliz crowning Lisa Palacios Homecoming Queen during pre-game ceremonies. The stadium full of spectators anxiously awaited for a vic- tory. The final curtain came when Brazoswood defeated Victoria with a score of 14 to 6. While others went home disillusioned, many couples attended the Homecoming Dance to listen to the sound of HARGISS. Courtney Wash and Darren Fox present carnations to the cheerleaders on behalf of the football players appreciation. Stingarees discuss the outcome of the game. .f f s ig Homecoming Court 1981-82: Laurie Merrill, Wendy Wayne, Gay Fitzhenry, Elsa Garcia, Linda Purdy, Lisa Palacios, April Co Sharon Dum, Laura Manning, Iill Whitaker, and Lynda Sutter. . 3' 226 X homecoming 1 '
