Spirit Week-The Six Days Of Homecoming
Bv Chris Rnntt Jsff Innlo
By Chris Scott
Louisburg was treated to a
six-day school spirit bonanza
during the week of Novennber 17
through the 22. Students had
great fun dressing differently each
day to display student unity and
school spirit.
Several messages were sent
reminding students to participate
in this rare week. They could truly
express themselves; perhaps the
most successful method was the
fake twenty dollar bill that had
many students momentarily
screaming for joy, until they found
out it was just a reminder from the
SGA to participate. The messages
were successful, however, as
many students wore different
suits and costumes for the appro
priate days.
The theme days were Toga
Day, Western Day, Hat Day,
Fifties Day, and 2001 Day.
Particularly successful were Hat
Day and Western Day. The
greatest achievement of the week
was perhaps the hugely success
ful Talent Show held in the
auditorium on Tuesday night.
There were many excellent
performances, but the first prize
winner was vocalist Jamison
Sutton, and the runners-up were
Smoke 'N Thai and Company and
Jeff Ingje.
Dances were held on Friday and
Saturday nights. Both were
hosted by the well-balanced
music agenda of "The Experi
ence" ifom Durham. They played
records of Beach Music, disco and
a little rock and roll. Both dances
were successful, but probably the
most attended was the Home
coming Dance on Saturday night.
Approximately 400 people show
ed up that night.
A capacity crowd came to the
Homecoming game with Ferrum.
The cheerleaders had many cute
stunts to please the crowd, and it
was a good game. At half time,
Billy Norris was crowned Home
coming King. He is a freshman
from Louisburg. He was escorted
by Martha Butler, a student at
Louisburg High School. Runner-
up was Craig Holten, a freshman
from New Bern, He was escorted
by Donna Cullipher, a freshman
girl basketball player. Others in the
Homecoming Court were Walter
Krentz, Tommy Freeman, Kelton
Durham, Royce Richardson, Tony
Autry, and Vernon Bagley.
All in all. Homecoming Week
was a great and extremely fun
event that kept one wishing for
more, but that unfortunately will
have to wait until next year.

Homecoming weekend really
got off with a pop. There was
wood crackling in the fire of the
first bonfire pep rally of the 80-81
season. The cheerleaders planned
a big night that was sure to please
the crowd.
The bitter wind and cold air
aided in the excitement of the
bonfire. Many freezing students
and faculty snuggled close to the
blazing fire for warmth. Phyllis
Farris introduced the Canes
Basketball teams. Tommy De-
Nardo, a member of the Canes
team, encouraged all of the fans
to come out and support the
team. The guys were really
looking forward to the season.
After all the speeches were over,
the cheerleaders got everyone
excited and spirited. Many chants
and cheers were taught for the
game on Saturday against Fer
rum.
While the fire was blazing, a
dummy made of straw, dressed in
