What word or words would
complete and satisfy that
theme? Some seemed to think
that words like 'Western Pride',
'the pride of the west', and
'spirited' would serve as appro–
priate counterparts, when in
reality, West Monroe High
School Is . . . changing.
Some were glad, while others
were disappointed, but neverth–
eless, the method of homecom–
ing court selection was changed
this year. Girls from each class
overcame the "stigma" of
self-nomination as they ob–
tained and completed applica–
tions. Anticipation, anxiety, and
expectancy prevailed among the
girls on the ballot, as the
student body chose six seniors,
five juniors and three so–
phomores to compose the
court, in addition to the band
sweetheart, who was also a
senior.
The crescendo of applause
peaked as Janet Moorehead
was chosen to wear the
quean's crown, and junior, Pam
Henry, was featured as maid of
honor.
A chilly Friday night, Oct. 26,
7 p. m. Rebel Stadium packed
with loyal fans and spirit
promoters transformed usually
loud fans into unusually vocifer–
ous cheerers as the mighty
Rebels showed Haughton just
how proud we were. Rebel
Band generated spirit with a
pre-game show, finalizing with
a high-waving Dixie flag. During
Cheryl Farmer,
Jr.
18/Homecoming
halftime, Rebelettes and Raiders
marched into a human triangular
border
to
enclose
the
homecoming court members
and escorts.
