You Don’t Look 200 We the People These immortal words echoed throughout the country in 1987 as the Constitution of the United States of America celebrated its bi- centennial. For Wando. the highlight of the celebration was a We the People pep rally in September. The rally opened with the presentation of the flags by the members of the Junior Air Force ROTC class and fea- tured a reading of the Preamble to the Constitution by student body president Elizabeth Craven Although the Constitution has been with us for over two hundred years now, it barely seems a day over 199. With only twenty-six for- mal ammendments. it is the longest lasting stable form of government in history.

I really enjoyed helping out the little kids. The parade was the next day. The Wando Band led the procession with their rendition of Soul Man. Fur- ther along the parade route, the cheerleaders were riding around with the Q107 Coke Video Van. After the parade, everyone moved to Patriots Plaza for the Spirit of '87 Pep Rally. Q107 and Charleston Mo- bile Music sponsored the event which featured performances by the Wando band, dance line, and cheer- leaders. It was a wonderful way to round out the sesquicentennial cele- bration and usher in Wando's Home- coming 1987. Cheerleaders Kerry Dupuy and Jenifer Has- kill show their spirit to the crowd gathered for the Spirit of '87 Pep Rally held at Patriot's Plaza after the parade.

tfou WUMutg 37 Hotumwmg Friday of Homecoming Week was a night that I wanted to be perfect. Wando played the number one team in our conference and I escorted Chris Jordan, who took Mark Elliott's place be- cause of the rule that foot- ball players weren't allowed on the field before the game. Even though many people had a negative attitude about the game, I kept a positive one and tried to keep Mark at that level too. Why them?” asked Mark, frustrated about having to play Summerville. Even my positive thinking disappeared at about 6:30. By this time I had become very nervous alongside Lisa McGuire, escorted by Jack Kee in place of Michael New- The sad faces on Joy McGrew and Meg Myers tell the entire story about the Homecoming game. Wando. after a long battle, finally lost to the Green Wave by a score of 49 to 13. These Homecoming Queen candi- dates wait anxiously for the final de- cision. Seated are Lisa Floyd, Susan Hocutt, Sandy Holmes, Lisa Jeffer- son (winner). Julie Todd, and Britt Westendorff (runner-up). A Bundle of Nerves ell. Negative thinking began to seep back in as game time drew near. When 7:30 finally rolled around, the band started playing. As we were walking through the aisle of flags, Chris turned to me and asked, Are you ner- vous?” All I could do was smile. When we finally left the field, tension arose among the crowd ... it was game time. Lisa and I sat on the sidelines where we could see the game. The view was in- credible: we saw every play. The most exciting moment was when John Popelka made a touchdown and evened out the score. Every- one was jumping up and screaming with excitement. I yelled, Oh my God! I can't believe it! All this spirit re- mained with us even through to the final quarter when we all knew that Wando was destined to lose. The players were pretty disappointed with the final score, but I was happy with it. I will never forget that game. The feelings, thoughts, and memories I shared with friends and strangers will remain with me forever. It wasn't the perfect night, but it was defi- nitely a memorable one.
