Close As the 1983 football season began drawing to a close the excitement grew throughout the school as preparations were started for the Colts' 1983 Homecoming. These preparations involved people from all aspects of student life, teachers THAT MAGIC MOMENT. The moment everyone was waiting for, Karla Smith and escort Chip Speight step forward after Karla's name was announced as the 1983 Homecoming Queen. Homecoming is . . to the J ourney's End helped with the voting and rehearsal and each student cast his or her vote for the girl they felt would best represent the school, the classes and the clubs. As the big day drew steadily closer the excitement and spirit increased even more. The clubs chose their representatives after many run-offs and recounts and the class representatives were an- nounced to the support and happiness of some and to the disappointment of others. When the time finally arrived the Colts and their proud, loyal fans were still pumped up from the victory over intraconference rival, Mount Pleasant Tigers of 26 to 6. The Colts came into their last home game with a 6 and 2 record, they had worked so hard to have a winning season. They knew by pulling off this win they would be within one game of taking the Division Il play-off berth, so for the players, all concentration was placed completely on the game. For the girls, this was the one and only time they really had any part in the football games and they were ready for it. The representatives and their escorts weathered the extreme cold as they cheered the mighty Colts on to a 16-8 half-time IT'S OURTURN.Takingtheirturn,Human Relations Club Representative, Marla Ashcraft and her escort, Michael Ashcraft stop long enough for their names and their parents' names and for their Homecoming snap-shots to be taken.

Karla was then crowned by Beverly Rogers, the 1982 Homecoming Queen. For Karla it was a very special time, one she will never forget. Karla and her court had their victories made even better when the Colts soundly defeated Parkwood by a score of 32-8. THE SUSPENSE MOUNTS.
