Junior Linda McNeil Selected for Whispering Pine Title Enthusiasm and class spirit run high during the selling of yearbooks as classes vie for 100% sales in order to select a candidate for Whispering Pine Queen. Two classes, the juniors and seniors, achieved this honor in 1968, and the entire student body participated in the election for queen. The winner’s name remained a secret to all but the Whispering Pine editor and sponsor until the announcement to the school on Color Day in the spring. Honored as 1968 Queen is Junior Linda McNeil, president of her class and a spritely varsity cheerleader. She also is a member of National Honor Society, Student Council and works as a writer on the annual staff. The senior class nominated Elah Watson for the queen honors. Elah is an officer in the high school band, a member of Pep Club executive board and participates in GAA. An active and popular member of the junior class Linda McNeil reigns as 1968 Whispering Pine Queen and has earned the honor of receiving the first yearbook on Color Day. Senior attendant Elah Watson represented her class in the annual contest for the yearbook queen title. Estes Pork Loundrocenter The Copper Penny Roms Horn Cottoges Mountain Village Forge

Climaxing the snake dance up Elkhorn Avenue the huge bonfire blazed the night before Homecoming. Queen candidates were chauffeured by Chuck Stotham as the band played. Junior Homecoming captains Bart Dannels and John Miller await the toss of the coin. The game thrilled hundreds of spectators with a final score of Estes 9, Lyons 8. With their ingenuity and skill the sophomores won the Home coming decoration contest, a new and fun idea. Bursting through the traditional hoop and onto the field the Bobcats ready themselves for the second half of play. 8
