Many of her hours were spent working on the yearbook, but she also participated in Drama Club and Student Council. Besides winning the honor of being the 1977 Homecoming Queen, Gaye also acted in the senior play, Calamity Jane. ---------------- MIKE NEST What is nice, skinny, lovable, and red-headed? A Mike West!
