The Homecoming The script for the Homecoming 74 Show zoomed into action with a burst of spirit from the student body. After the Bonfire Thursday night you could find many students being entertained by the Junior and Senior girls as they battled it Out in the powderpuff game. The winning touchdown, made by Senior Roxie Taylor, put the final score at 6-0. Students gathered at the field again Friday night backing up those mighty Green Hornets as they faced Natural Bridge. During halftime, entertainment in¬ cluded performances by the band, drill team, and majorettes. The Homecoming court was presented, and the announcement everyone had been waiting for was made at last. The 1974 Homecoming King and Queen were Rusty Baber and Elizabeth Boggs. The night was finally completed by another Hornet vic¬ tory of 35-0. Saturday night excitement mounted as time for the Carnival drew near. The main attraction was a group called Barnstorm. While many couples danced, others could be found talking or having refreshments. When the night ended, students returned home to reflect back on a script which proved to be an award winning success.

EMERGENCY! Wilson ' s versions of Emergency lacked sirens and paramedics, but included the blast of fire drill horns and the ring of bells. Stampeding feet, a hushed quiet that built into laughter, and slamming doors always followed these signals. Minor emergencies happened daily. The lock¬ ers that stuck, the books that dropped, the desks that fell over, and the quick trips to the restroom were a few. However, the 3:00 bell brought a surge of adrenalin into the bodies of all, as they formed a human wave to get to their buses. Fire dirlls frequented the Emergency series. The most exciting one, which lasted for 45 minutes, occurred at the beginning of the year. As usual, the cast performed with ease and calm. One Tuesday morning show depicted the story of a thousand students trapped by a total blackout. A transformer breakdown put the entire post in darkness for 20 minutes. Flash¬ lights were found, but few had batteries. The situation was alleviated in those rooms with windows, but for the inner rooms things looked pretty dim. Another emergency show entitled Help CROP Stop Hunger, aired in October. Wilson stars helped by making a sponsored walk of 6 miles from Fishersville to Waynesboro, in the snow. r 9 ■ ■ 3 J It ' s a cold, snowy, Saturday morning in October. While many folks stay home in a warm bed, Cindy Baldwin, Melinda Lucas, and June East walk for CROP to help raise money to stop hunger. Thank goodness it wasn ' t real! Sue Delong and Heidi Landau seem to have their own opinions about fire drills. Emergency 13
