=? .vas the adjustment to changes. Juniors suddenly “came of age” icd the majority of them were cruis- -g uptown, going out on first dates, 3 d dropping in on parties. It did not 3ke long for them to adjust to the :-ge difference between the 10th and I Ith grades. Seniors at last! But the carefree rays were over and the serious plan- - ng had begun. How many people should I invite to graduation? Where should I apply to college? How will I pay for it? How many senior pictures do I really need? Will I ever see my old friends again? It was difficult be- ing certain about an uncertain fu- ture. When Sherri Cummings was asked what she would miss most about the “Class of ’85“ she said, “My friends.” After the memorable “warrior attack” Sherri Cummings gives her best friend Laura Bell a bou- quet of balloons in the parking lot.

Warm Memories A Hot Team on a Hot Night November 2 was unusually warm. The tem- perature was 75 degrees at game time, but to tne football players it was more like 100 de- grees with the humidity. The opening event was the parade of the sen- ior football players and their escorts consisting of girlfriends and even a grandmother. “It really meant a lot to me to have my grandmother at the game, said Benji McCoy. “She made it even more special by escorting me onto the field be- fore hand. After a kiss for good luck, the players returned to the locker room for the last encour- aging word from the coach before the game. After a grand performance by the band at half- time, the five Homecoming Queen candidates and their escorts came onto the field. This night turned out to be very special for LaVerne Aiken. I was especially excited over this extra special night,” said LaVerne. “Being selected as Home- coming Queen made it memorable.” After the Homecoming ceremonies, the foot- ball players returned to the field to continue their annihilation of the burke Bulldogs by a score of 62-12. For the first time ever the homecoming dance was held in the commons area after the game. Attendance was slow at first but increased as the night went on. Crazee Mundee was the DJ and he kept everyone dancing the night away. With perspiring foreheads and anxious smiles the Home- coming Queen candidates and their escorts wait patiently to be announced onto the field. They are Debbie Rowe with Steve Gardener, Kellye O’Connor with Greg Fennesy, Sanaa Taylor with Toby Williams, and LaVerne Aiken. Melanie Brown, a spirit club member gets another batch of balloons to pass out. Corsages are a sign of Homecoming Queen candidates. Sanaa Taylor helps a very nervous Kelley O’Connor with hers.
