n ■ fc risk winds blew. The leaves were rustling and turning H T brown, and the air was get- ■J m ting colder. Fall was defi- WmJKm nitely coming, and with it came a familiar, usual fall tradition changed just a bit. Homecoming came a bit earlier. An unusual aspect of Homecoming Week was that it was held in late Septem- ber rather than in middle October. Unfortunately, it marked the end of the first grading period. Because of this, only one activity was planned for duing the week. This was so students could study more for the six weeks exams. A movie, Attack of the Killer Tomato, was shown and the usual Powder Puff and Boys Beauty contest were postponed un- til a later date. The early Homecoming also delayed the distribution of the Wigwam. While many students participated in class dress up days, more did not. Dress up week gave us a chance to Floats, Queen Dannielle lead at early festivities show our school spirit. There weren ' t very many people who dressed up on inside- out day (the sophomore class day). It could have been a lot of fun. People could have shown a lot of variety, Scott McDaniel, sophomore, said. Homecoming week was a fun break from the normal routine of school, and the theme Warriors are Invincible was es- pecially fitting in 1985 as the Warriors, 1984 4A State Champs, plunked a 63-15 win over the Southport Cardinals. Each individual class tried to prove that they too were invincible. The Class of ' 87 succeeded in this task by triumphing over the senior class with their own version of Pluck Em in the float competition. While things altered in plan, students kept the tradition alive by flooding the stands with yellow mums and black and gold streamers. One trend seemed to continue. Fewer and fewer students stayed to see the pa- rade. After the change in the last few years to an after-school parade, total stu- dent participation continued to drop. Homefest, sponsored by the PTA, was another success, with the fish fry and the many booths at the Walker Career Cen- ter, and the 5K Run. But to Queen Danielle Kendrick and her court and the winning Warriors it was a beautiful evening — the continuation of a tradition — just a bit later than usual. Even though the homecoming Dance was on Sat- urday, students still turned out for a night of danc- ing. Concentration is the key for sophomore David Norris during half-time show for the game. student life

As the parking lot became jammed with cars, the bleachers packed with peo- ple, and the space around the stands packed with junior highs, the Homecoming eve football game climaxed the frantic day of activi- ties. Having Homecoming at an earlier date got the year off to a fast start, senior Mike Sigmond said. The Gold Brigade was sparkling in their new uniforms as they performed the pre- game activities. Off to a fast start also described the football teams crunching defeat of the Southport Cardinals with a score of 63 to 15. I think we played well and we stuck to Fewer students join Homecoming events our game plan. By the end of the game we had reached our goal to control the game defensively, said junior Todd Wellmann. Other activities associated with the game were the crowning of the king and queen. During half-time ceremonies, sen- ior Danielle Kendrick, who was escorted by senior Robert Henderson, was crowned Homecoming Queen. The Homecoming Court princesses were Karen Steele, Karen LeHane, Terri Heber, and Brenda Beaver, and escorts Steve Shuck, Titus Burns, Tim Justice, Kevin Zeyen, and Bubba Shrum. Once again the Homecoming dance was held on Saturday evening in the foyer with music provided by WEDM. Ericka Boykins, sophomore, said she felt the dance should have been held on Friday night so the students involved in other school activities could attend. Kim Kerkoff, sophomore, said, Having the Homecoming dance is a good way to promote school spirit and have fun too. Trying to boost crowd spirit, the Warrior chicken performs his cheer. The Homecoming Court included Steve Shuck, Karen Steele, Titus Burns, Tim Justice, Karen Le- Hane, Queen Dannielle Kendrick, Robert Hender- son, Terri Heber, Kevin Zeyen, Brenda Beaver, and not pictured Bubba Shrum. A train is very popular at dances, especially the Homecoming Dance where Kathy Raftery leads a train. 12
