The -Football Festival will be repeated annually, but this yearis unique atmosphere cannot be. Octo- ber 22, Stevenson students saw their first queen crowned, and heard the results of the first Mr. Spartan contest at the Football Festival, forerunner of the annual homecoming celebration. The week prior to the Festival was filled with a variety of preparations designed to enhance the celebration's atmosphere. Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen worked diligently on decorations for the float and dance. Self-appointed committees tried to get students to contribute money to the student representing their class in the lVlr. Spartan contest. The big weekend finally arrived and, although we lost the football game against Waterford, the half-time entertainment was undoubtedly the best Stevenson has ever seen. As the band played, the queen and her court circled the field, The festivities continued the following night. Student Senate Vice-President Tim Smith crowned a radiant Tanya Donikian. Moments later, cheers from the juniors attended the announcement that their class president, Paul Pender, had been elected Mr. Spartan. The usual class rivalries seem to have been forgotten, as the camera coaxes forth a smile from the Mr. Spartan candidates, sophomore Irv Chope, junior Paul Pender, and freshman Greg Morrison. Hospitalized due to a football injury, Paul Pender was unable to receive his trophy at the dance, so a delegation of students visited him to pre- sent him with his Mr. Spartan award.
