The traditional walk Songer Gym has been the site of some pretty wild pep rallies. But none have seen the likes of the 1986-87 homecom- ing pep rally! This was a time to cut loose, which is exactly what Walker High School students did. At 7:00 p.m. Thursday, Oc- tober 30, 1986, Songer Gym roared with cheers of encouragement led by the Senior football players ' mothers. These ladies might be older but they are definitely RED-HOT! . Next were the infamous boy cheerleaders. Their routine to Velcro- Fly was too much for the audience and all the Seniors began to bunny-hop. The 1986-87 boy cheerleaders included: Magee Scarbrough, Scott Alexander, Charlie Woods, Gary Booth, Thomas Perrine, Beau FreeJnan, Toby Banks, Richard Ingle, Randall Drummond, Mike Woodley, Scott Anthony, and Ronald Richardson. Each class had its own theme. Of course, the Senior class kept the faith and wore the togas. The Juniors went Hawaiian. The Sophomores dressed in red and the Freshmen celebrated the season in Halloween costumes. Last, but certainly not least, the homecoming queen was announced. All of Walker High bowed to their queen as Mrs. Martin called Lisa Kiker ' s name. The finishing touch was for the Seniors to get sentimental at their last pep rally as Walker High School students. The cheerleaders ' emotional skit could have brought a tear to every senior ' s eye. The pep rally ended with all the seniors in the middle of the gym floor hugging, laughing, tind crying as the Alma Mater played. After the pep rally, everyone went to the baseball field for more cheering at the bonfire. Top: The boy cheerleaders ' pyramid was quite a winner. Boy cheerleaders are: Randall Drummond, Richard Ingle, Charlie Woods, Gary Booth, Toby Banks, Scott Anthony, Ronald Richardson, Thomas Perrine, and Beau Freeman. Middle: The Senior football players ' mothers made sure to let everyone know that they were RED-HOT! Bottom: The Senior class was high in spirit. No wonder they won the spirit stick!!

One last twist and shout It ' s Homecoming at last, was the general feeling of Walker High School students on Friday morning, October 31, 1986. This is the one time of year for school celebration and all-out fun all day. School began at 8:00 as usual, but at 12:00 everyone was dismissed to prepare for the big happening — the parade, of course. All of the parking lots were full of cars, crepe paper, and many, many people, all decorating cars and trucks for the big promenade. All of the floats were built, all the cars and trucks were decorated, and at 1:00 Walker High School was given the streets of Jasper to show the people just how much spirit they had. Of course no parade succeeds without the floats and there were plenty of them here. Each class had an assortment of beautiful mini-floats to celebrate. Begin- ning with the Seniors, who took the cake with their thirty-foot Chinese dragon, the classes displayed their floats on the streets. The Juniors put a hex on Berry with their witch and cauldron. The Sophomores, with a little help from Captain Crunch Berry , prepared for the game in red. The Freshmen must have scared the wits out of Berry with their haunted house. Sixty cars made up this year ' s parade and all of them helped to make the day festive. The most memorable of these would have to be the Senior ' s flat-bed truck living room scene. It was very relaxing. The usual parade route was followed, making sure to drive by all of the elementary schools and the middle school. Of course the parade couldn ' t forget town square where the band, ROTC, and cheerleaders all did their thing. Top: Beauty is the word for the 1986-87 Homecoming Queen and Court. Jasper is in awe while they ride through downtown. Middle Left: Wild and crazy, the Seniors Party down in their own furnished flatbed truck — one of the more original entries in the parade. Middle Right: Is there a better car to drive in a parade than a convertible? Junior Ben Hudson sees the chance to have fun in his new car. Right: As usual, on H omecoming, the parking lots are packed with cars full of crepe paper. 18 Student Life Homecoming
