sadMi ninft ' ■ Danger Zone Horr ct' rtotne Danger Zone - the theme certainly fit Homecoming! From threatening weather, to a win over the Portsmouth West Senators, the dance and fierce float competition, a look in the eyes and a feeling pressing the air mounted tension that soon burst into the action and emotion of Homecoming Week. Next to the game itself, the steepest competition lay in the chicken wire contraptions. Mischief afoot, students furiously designed floats the week before the October 10 game. Though forbidden, spys often escaped from their respective bams and or garages to case other floats. Hostility flared between juniors and senios as junior parties egged the site of the senior float, cars and Coach Blaine Beekman's barn. Trashing the site resulted in trouble, and a written letter of apology to the senior class. Seniors found the special clean up services provided by a few juniors most delightful. Vallery's storage garage housed sophomores while Mr. Don Remy's barn harbored freshmen. Thoughts of other floats faded as each class concentrated on keeping their masterpiece together all the way to the school parking lot. An early 2:30 p.m. school dismissal (a suspicious number of students signed out early) allowed students to watch the annual parade. Suspense overtook the float builders as the long awaited judging took place. « «»ecort»‘‘I'fc Page design by Jenny Smith ,«v- -Copy by Tracy Dixon UntOCCor0'n Homec°n'ln% tt°lVVCO Hornecon Homecon fc Honrec0 0 r o£ HonrcconV'0 Homeco « Uotoecon S yiomec°min' 6 Homecoming Hornecotn' Homeco ttomccom Hill' '-

assemblies added to the pattern of change and disappointment. Just as no new rules delighted students, the severe warning about participating in a senior skip day, displeased seniors who might otherwise heed the warning and have the opportunity to take early exams. Yet, not everything changed. Exams took place as scheduled, monthly fire drills jolted students teachers, and passes to and from classes remained mandatory. Routine changed the January day the lights and heat went off when a transformer blew, and in February when icy, snow covered roads extended the President's Day vacation into an extra two day holiday. As the camera captured routines, changes and expectations, the pictures represented only a moment in time. Pictures show static life. From within one must sense real change and growth, to transform extraordinary situations and to humanize the events. With this transformation, pictures help to create memories. Drenched. At a cheerleader fund raiser sophomores Anita Slaughter, Lori Pyle, Janel Miller and freshman Michelle Williams ride through the Plaza Car Wash. In a pep session junior Jenny Smith chants the Tiger shuffle to junior Bill Bryant. Fishing enthusiast biology teacher Mr. Danny Roar, models his fish tie. In the main hallway hang composites of former graduating classes. Junior Paula Blair goes to 7th period photography class.
