Special Tribute Nineteen Seniors, Honor Nineteen Years of Teaching Ch d Pifer Org, Editor Hundreds of students crammed into the gym cheering and yelling get- ting the football team fired up for a victory over Pine Bluff. The odds were greatly against us but ev- eryone had that winning feeling in them. The pep assembly was set into motion with a cheer from the cheerlead- ers and, then the ceremo- nies began, as the nine- teen Senior football players escorted the Homecoming maids. Traditionally there isn't a Homecoming Queen, but this year was an excep- tion. Mrs. Clarice High- tower was named Honor- ary Queen in recognition of her nineteen years of love and devotion to Mills. Being named Honor- ary Queen made the years of workingp teaching, heartaches, and happiness that l've had with students spring forth into one hap- py dream: Knowing that I was loved and appreciat- ed, Mrs. Hightower said. As the sun set in the west and the day came to an end the time for the big game arrived and excite- ment filled the air. One by one the fans filed into the dark stadium, due to a Aaron Glass gives Darrel Richards a hi- five after the Comets scored a touch- down, while Brian Heavener looks on- ward at the game.

The fans play an impor- tant part in the games. The more support that the team receives from the students makes the team play harder, Brian Heav- ner said. As the night came to an end the Comets added a great victory to their rec- ord, with the defeat of Pine Bluff 'IO-6. lt was a great game. I didn't knowifwewere go- ing to be able to win, but the team played a great game and we won, Bryant Steele said.

Born Too Soonllllll Holidays bring food and rest to students. Holly Brat l Co-Editor Halloween in Septem- ber? Thanksgiving in October? Christmas and New Years in Novem- ber? Holidays don't come at their traditional times anymore, not since stores were invented. Holidays are delivered at least a month premature. You go into the stores in November and they already have Christmas trees out. lt's really pretty but sometimes you get tired of the holidays before they even get here. l think they push it too soon, Jaime Cra- trell said. Even though the stores and press may overdo the holiday seasons, they still hold special places in the hearts of some. They are reasons for families to together. Thanksgiving this year is going to be really special. My brother and his wife are coming in from Florida. l haven't seen them in a while. Thanksgiving could not be any more perfect, get Kristy McCoy said. The Holidays not only bring people together from far away, but they also stimulate the taste buds. lt seems like the only thing I do at holidays is eat. There is just so much food. You can't help yourself, Venita Deadman said. The Holidays culminate after months of prepara- tions, leaving everyone with full stomachs and holiday feeling. These ex- tra things make the days missed from school even more enjoyable. 12 Student Kristy Thomas shows a wondering person the different types of trees and lights. Christmas trees are a big part of the holi- day seasons. Life Brian Linn Marcy Woods eagerly reads her Hallo- ween candy grams. The candy grams were sold and distributed by the junior Cabinet to fund the Junior-Senior Prom.
