First Impressions Colonels Stage A Big Comeback gg t'll be over before you know it is a familiar line to those who await a shot of novocain or a dose of the Swine Flu vaccine. Some things like that never seemed to get over quickly enough, but other things were finished before they ever really got started. The sum- mer of '76 was a summer like that. For nine months students had counted the days until Iune to signal three months of rest. Sun worshippers crammed into their cars and raced down Route 220 heading for Myrtle Beach, where the sun turned Seashells white and bodies brown. But all too soon, a bulging letter welcoming students back to school broke the lazy days of summer and made one cram for a last minute tan before locker combinations and towel fees took priority. The beginning of school meant finding answers to new questions - Where to spend the mid-morning break? What clubs to join? How to find a friend to eat lunch with in the cafeteria without looking con- spicuous? For those not new to the campus, the campus seemed new anyway. Smith Hall received a face lift as the CE room made way for classroom space. The lunch line opened a little early, 8:00 a.m. to be exact. Eggs and fried apples of the breakfast program preceded their cousins, chili beans and turnip greens, as the cafeteria fare. The Colonel himself came back to pep assemblies to make sure first impressions were good ones. The Blue Coats and Madhatters con- vinced him that things at Fleming were just fine, thank you.

Sunny skies and record highs lure sopho- mores Lydia Lilly and Yvonne Seaman outside during 4B lunch. 14 Summer!Back To School .nr k +4 , swag. N ks .few .f QA, :sv-.ss , .sw . . W .

First Impressions Knighttime's The Best Time f anyone doubted that Spirit Iwas alive and thriving at Flem- ing, Homecoming week changed his mind. Monday saw blue and gold rugby shirts pave the way for the week's activities. Tuesday proved there was still something a penny could buy as links of a spirit chain grew longer. Wednes- day brought black and red into view as Hex Day made its debut. Thurs- day found junior girls two-touch- down favorites as they romped over the senior girl squad in the school's first flag football game. The seniors retaliated with shaving cream be- fore the bonfire that yielded a night of cheering and nursing sore muscles. Friday, better known to some as D-Day, blitzed the school with a pep assembly and the an- nouncement of Iohn Sherffield as Mr. Touchdown. In another school first, clubs sponsored princesses to ride in the motorcade as it rambled down Williamson Road. Attention turned from princesses to queens as Terri Snow donned the crown as Home- coming Queen and Iohnnie Moore became Maid-of-Honor. By Saturday night, the ache of the 16-0 loss to the Cave Spring Knights slipped away at the SCA's Disco Dance. Although Cave Spring may have shot a hole in the week's theme, Tonight is our Knight, Colonels who lived through the special week of Homecoming could nod their heads and say Home- coming was just fine, thank you. Coronation brings tears of joy to Home- coming Queen Terri Snow as she clutches her red roses. 16 Homecoming
