A lively cheer is started by Ouenlin Young, Geor- gene Piorkowski, and Kay Dell Franklin at the tra- ditional bonfire. Later on the candidates for Home- coming Geeen and the princesses are announced. Perhaps the one greatest contribution to the lively “Spirit of ’76” in the fall was Homecoming, with its colorful parade, its half-time ceremony, and of course its football game. A triumphant defeat of cross-street rival Hammond Tech added to the spirit, as did the announcement of the Homecoming queen, Kay Dell Franklin, and her court. Senior princesses were Kay Dell, Pat Hard- ing and Sharon K. Miller. Ann Lawther represented the junior class, sophomore prin- cesses were Pam Parrish and Sally Fuller, and Jean Taliaferro was the freshman prin- cess. Action, Pageantry, and Tradition Accentuate Homecoming Association vice-president Fred Foushee crowns elected Homecoming Queen Kay Dell Franklin. Fred takes the place of president Jim Vergin, who is a member of the football team. Coach Bernie Krueger ' s eyes are glued on the action of an exciting play; John Mitchell and Bill Enochs look on. The Wildcats won the Homecoming contest, beating Tech 26-0.

At left is Caroline Van Bret (Janice Beyer). Rip Van Bret (Dave Cook) smiles at his bride (Ami Crumpacker) while Dr. Sully (Dove Brossart) and Caroline Van Bret (Janice Beyer) congratulate them . On November 17, a responsive audience saw the hateful jealousy of a forceful woman toward her half-brother’s wife evolve into a crafty scheme to kill the intruder in the family as Double Door, a drama set in the New York home of a woman living in the past, was presented. Weeks of rehearsing and careful planning preceded the final produc- tion as interested students with dramatic ability gained an opportunity to display their talents. Even students with abilities other than dramatic and with the spirit of partici- pation found use for their services on the various committees. The combined efforts of everyone along with the skillful direction of Miss Oza Cunningham resulted in a polished performance. Page Seven
