By Merrily Taylor now, snow, and more snow should have been the theme of Backward Homecoming 1987. The court was expected to be presented on January 30, during halftime of the Varsity basketball game against Mt. Tabor. Unfortunately due to almost two feet of snow, it was postponed. This was the second year that West had a Backward Homecoming Court, and it was a great success. On February 6, 1987 the Backward Homecoming Court was presented. A huge crowd filled the gymna- sium and everyone was excited. Backward Homecoming was an opportunity to re- verse rolls and honor the guys. There was some discussion between the members of the court on whether or not there should be a king. When Dennis Warren was asked about having a king, he replied, I feel pretty good about not having one. The students elected the court and it shouldn't be bro- ken down anymore. On the other hand, there were a few guys who felt having a king and queen at homecoming is a tradition, and a tradition they would like to reinstate. Since this was only the second year of an all-male court, there were mixed feelings about the event. Jerry Markus replied, It was embar- rasing at first, but now I don't mind. I considered it an honor. When Dennis Warren was asked how he felt he said, I was really surprised to hear my name, but I felt really good inside. Cortney Porter and Karen Swaringen headed the committee in charge of the event, which was sponsored by SLC. Back- ward Homecoming was suggested last year by Ray Hunt, a member of SLC. Students have responded to the idea of an all-male court tremendously. Backward Homecoming could continue to grow into one of the many traditions here at West Forsyth. As Cortney Porter put it, It is some- thing different and fun! Backward Homecom1ngf23 ,.f-f w ,r

Rob Harris SWEETENINC-5 THE By Kammy Eggleston he West handbook states: No food or drink is to be consumed in any classroom building. This rule was waived by most teachers during October 13 to November 3, 1986. Candy was evi- dent for two weeks while clubs and the school tried to earn money for special pro- jects and instructional supplies. It wasn't an unusual sight to see sucker sticks pok- ing out of someone's mouth while they paid for a pack of M 8a Mis. Initially the goal was 540,000. The sale was to end the morning of Monday, Octo- ber 27g however, it was extended to Wednesday, October 29. Unfortunately, the goal was still not reached, so Mr. Peo- ples once again extended sales to Monday, November 3. After all the orders were turned in, the total was approximately 525,000, nearly 515,000 less than intended. Although it appeared as if some stu- dents were not enthusiastic about fund raising, others were. The top prize winner was April Hicks with a sales record of 5305. Donna Lash followed close behind with her total of 5272.50. William Com- modore was not far behind at 5255. Tied at fourth place with 5250 were April Thomas, Darren Stimpson, and Suzanne Montag. The prizes for top winners to choose ANOTHER PRIZE: April Hicks tried out her new Sony Stereo in the office as soon as she received it. As the top salesperson of the candy campaign, April got to choose one prize from each category. She eventually got a mug, tootsie roll bank, graduation bear, Brewster Bear, and a Casio Keyboard, as well as the Sony AMXFM tape player. ROLLING THOSE LOGS: Jeff Beauchamp, Grant Halverson, and Darryl Mason are helping unload a transfer truckload of items that were sold during the candy campaign. Ashley Orrell TAKE NUMBER FOUR : Meredith Phillips gives a smile as she tries to decide which of the four boxes to choose as her prize. Looking on, Chris Leggitt and Wesley Adams wait their turn, hoping they would be the one to get the cash prize of 550. Meredith ended up with a stuffed animal. Chris got a wallet containing a dollar bill, and Wesley got the box of Pampers. POT from ranged from Titan mugs and gradua- tion bears, to a Casio keyboard. These winning efforts allowed three homerooms to leave school for a pizza party. Students who sold in Mr. McConnell,s, Mrs. He- drick's and Mr. Carteris homerooms left at 10:30 A.M. Tuesday, December 2, to eat lunch at Pantera's Pizza in Parkway Plaza. The sales were not tops, but the thrill of a challenge did prevail! As Mr. McConnell so matter-of-factly put it, We took on all challenges. Of course we won, that was our goal? Candy Sa1esf25
