Homecoming activities actually started a week before most of the school was aware that they had begun. In homeroom, the senior students were all given a list containing the name of every senior in the school. From this list, the students decided who would be the queen and marshall candidates. This year, the candidates were: Queen; Diane Theis, Genny Guhin, Marilyn Dahme, Renee Retzlaff, Mary Kay Wollman, Janell Wilcox, Nicki Ochsner, and Pam Sullivan. Marshall candidates: Kermit Opp, Bob Olson, Jerry Phillips, Forrest Allred, Paul Darling, Keith Levi, Bruce Poe, and Jon Locken. The entire student body then voted on who they wanted to represent them on the Student Senate float in the Gypsy Day Parade. On Thursday, October 5, after Mistress of Ceremonies, Gwyn Pautsch, introduced a dance routine performed by Paul Novak, Sue Od- land and Terri Weber, and sung by Cathy Bosma; and two songs were presented by the Madrigal sing- ers; last year’s Queen Mary Lochridge gave her crown to Diane Theis, and 1966 Marshall Dan Wollman sur- rendered his crown to Kermit Opp. 14
