A perfect climax The beat of the tomtom, the acrid smell of smoke in the air, and the mournful sound of funeral chants filled the air emanating from Senior hall. Well, almost. The seniors did build an Indian funeral platform in preparation for the “burying of the Jackets’ opponents — the Pocahontas Redskins. Homecoming week began with the spirits high and everyone participating in the festivities. The festivities included dress-up days and hall decorations. The dress-up days ranged from tacky to country and western. Each day was a different sight, for the costumes were different each day. One day it was clowns and the next cowboys and Indians. Friday marked the last day of the festivities and that was blue and gold day with the seniors winning the hall decorations. As the week ended, the excitement grew for the most climactic point of the Homecoming week. That, of course, was the Friday night game. Nervous fans filed into the stadium and awaited the kickoff. Slowly the nervousness fled and was replaced by jubilation as the last buzzer sounded. The Yellowjackets had scalped the Redskins by the tremendous score of 35 to 6. Preparing for Ihe bonfire, Darrell Hess, Brian Millon, Bryan Gahr, and Greg Hess pile up the boxes to be burned in the parking lot. 14 Homecoming

Agriculture- a billion dollar industry “If you complain about farmers, don’t talk with your mouth full,” is a message commonly conveyed by bumper stickers in our small agricultural community. Although industry plays an important part in our area, it is evident that farming is the main livelihood. The importance of farming can be seen on campus. Agri is one of the most popular electives, with a majority of the students involved in the farming operations of their own families. Broncos and pickups line the parking lot, most of which head for the farm after school. When school starts and winter sets in, the work still doesn’t stop, unfortunately, for many students. But when the rice is cut and the harvest is in, ask them what Wynne's billion dollar industry is and most likely you will hear “farming.” 16 Agriculture
