The theme was ‘Paradise is Rainbow's End. scarlet flames lick viciously, yet, ever so quietly, at the doomed Ironman, mascot of Jackson, the Friday night foe. As for the dance preparation, all was not going well. Not going well at all, in fact. The Homecoming backdrop, stored in the new equipment building, “where it would be safe,” had been discarded. 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.

Did instant floats mean instant success for the juniors? Not quite, but they managed to continue the three year tradition of winning fourth place. The freshmen took third while the sophomores with their surprising first place win, edged tne seniors into second. Remember the Homecoming Dance? More importantly, the backdrop and the two extra nights it took to rebuild it? It wouldn’t fit through the door at West Elementary School and had to be taken apart. But once inside and set up, “normality” edged JUNIOR Attendant Robin Pfeifer enters the Homecoming dance with escort Joe Brown. Robin attends the Pike County Vocational School. FRESHMEN Kristi Lemaster and Christy Sams collect dance admissions at the West Elementary event. Price of admission $3 stag and $5 drag. in. The unusually small crown filed through the door where they paid $3. stag and $5. drag. Couples had pictures taken in front of the photo backdrop drawn by Mark Pfeifer and Tim Sams. Dancers moved in the shadow of the theme sign made bv Chris George and Linda Murrell. And the lights went out! The equipment of “Teazer,” the $600 band, proved too much for the circuit and the fuse blew before the first dance. But things got back to normal. Smiling dates nibbled on the refreshments donated or made by Student Council members. Dry mouths were refreshed with the punch made by Genie Robinson and Lisa Wright. And the lights went out. A fuse — again. Teacher Mrs. Mary Gecowets helped Adviser Mrs. Debbie Setty keep things running as smoothly as possible. Someone forgot to let the balloons fall until after the Queen’s Dance. And(was it really any surprise?) the lights did go out. Despite the fact that students may not have known exactly what Pastime (or Past Time) Paradise meant, it provoked the mind and encouraged students to think. And thinking brings back memories. Pastime Paradise. Let it mean what you want. 18 Homecoming
