On October 15, 1986 the student body congratulated the ladies who were chosen as the Court Representa- tives for Homecoming 1986. April Gam- ble, chosen to represent the Junior class said I felt wonderful that day and it was an honor to be on the Homecoming Court for two years. The atmosphere was greatf' Homecoming excitement began October 24, 1986. What a week! What fun! What memories! Spirit Week led up to the Homecoming activities. Throughout the week, the Stu- dent Leadership Committee sold balloons to determine which class had the most spirit. The sophomores bought 5127.75, giving them top billing in the spirit depart- ment. Another contest was held between clubs to see which could make the most attractive banner for the football game. The Key Club took first place with their banner stating, Titans, We're Keyed Up For You. Friday afternoon a pep rally was held in the football stadium to get the football team prepared for the battle with undefeated Davie. Finally, 8:00 P.M. arrived. After indi- vidual introductions of Senior players, the football team approached the field and broke the banner. At that moment the 250 helium balloons sold for Spirit Week were released into the air by Titanides and fans. Rising to the occasion, the night had just begun. The Homecoming game was one of the most exciting games of the season. West Forsyth would carry the title of conference champions by defeating Davie, which they did 24-17. The half time activities were great fun for everyone. All members of the court for Homecoming '86 were escorted to the field by their date for the evening. O.K. West donated a white arch for the event, and Marie's Florist donated all the flowers for the special occasion. Mrs. Judy Felder, one of many coordinaters of Homecoming, felt like 'glt was very successful and the student body represented themselves well. Without the participation, time, and effort of several other teachers, Homecoming would not have gone over as smoothly. Every class was represented on the court. Presentation began with the Fresh- men and led up to the Senior court mem- bers. Each Senior court member was es- corted off the field into one of the nine cars provided by the Corvette Club and parents. Mrs. Marvorene Edwards said, Having the automobiles brings back the spirit of Homecoming, and it emphasized the importance of Senior girls. Mrs. Cin- dy Zimmerman spent many hectic days lining up the cars for the event and re- marked, I enjoyed working with the '86 Homecoming Court because everyone worked so well together, and also it is so important to those who are nominated. The Homecoming Court was not pre- sented again at the dance as had been done in previous years. Instead, Once, Twice, Three Times A Lady', by Lionel Richie was dedicated to them. The night ended with a bang when balloons were released from the top of the gym. Decorations were taken home as souvenirs. The feeling and memories of Homecoming would not soon be forgotten. 2lfHomecom1ng
