' K-tte LimooD of OUP ECO VOAfy YESTERDAY TODAY TOMORROW With all of this to get used to, it was no wonder eighth graders were full of school spirit. We participated with interest in almost any school activity; and although we took little active part in athletics, eighth graders were probably the most loyal rooters and sup¬ porters at the games. By the end of our first high school year, eighth graders were becoming pretty much at ease. We had experienced one exam period and had some idea of what to expect in June. Many of the teachers whom we once feared most were now our good friends and the amaz¬ ing thing was that we were actually beginning to learn something from all those often long, dull assignments. We began to plan for four more years of high school, with the help and guidance of our teachers. At the moment, we aren ' t quite sure where we are going, but here we come. Exhibits made by agricultural students were on display at an open house and at the county fair. Art teacher, Miss Sally Ardrey, interprets eighth grader Danny Crosby ' s painting.

Storyland Theme Homecoming in Storyland, featuring Mother Goose and her storybook characters, was the essence of the dance which climaxed the week of October 17, 1964. Homecoming Queen Karen Dyer and her court, Lynn Dance, Bonnie Wilson, Carol Sib¬ ley, Janet Lawter and Kathy Wood were pre¬ sented at the dance, entertained by a local group, the Roaches. The queen was chosen by the entire student body after candidates were nominated by the senior class. The other at¬ tendants were selected by their respective classes. Lynn Dance, senior representative. During halftime Karen was crowned as the first Homecoming Queen in the new HCHS stadium. She was also presented a bouquet of red roses by Principal J. M. Swanson and an autographed football by Richard Ragans, co¬ captain of the football team. All club floats were displayed before a panel of judges and were judged as to their original¬ ity and appropriateness. The Future Home¬ makers of America took first place with their float welcoming alumni. In the football game that night, the William Fleming Colonels defeated the Comets, 13 to 7. Bonnie Wilson, junior representative. Other attendants are Carol Sibley, sophomore; Joan Lawter, freshman and Kathy Wood, eighth grade.
