For what, is not quite certain considering that the tree had fallen on the freshman float and (surprise?) the Tiger on the junior float had lost its head. And if it was the last year for the snake dance as was being considered, what a way to go out, for it could be said that the snake dance and bonfire of 1980 added a new dimension to the word—blah. A number of theories emerged as to why there was such a low turn out.

With the help of Jaki Copeland it took Council members two extra nights and sixty-five badly needed dollars to rebuild. But for now, there were more important thing. At last the long awaited moment had arrived when the Homecoming Queen would be chosen. Petite Tammy Fyffe relinquished her crown to Robin Tackett in a brief and unemotional ceremony. The crowning took a pleasant twist when, after providing Queen Robin with the traditional roses and trophy, football team captains, Aaron Murray, Brian Echard and Rick Conley kissed each senior attendant.
