Chosen from senior football play- ers in a student election, fullback Dennis McFarland captured the first Mr. Touchdown trophy. Highlighting halftime, president Orest Szewciw crowned Candi Polo- vina homecoming queen. Candi’s court consisted of seniors Nikki Cianiotis, Sue Reynolds; junior Cindy Watson; sophomore Patty Markovich; freshman Diana Davis. Students danced to the music of the Clique Shays after the game. Association Week, April 26-30, 1971, began with Tom Sawyer day when groups painted the construc- tion site fence by the new gym. Old- fashioned day called for students to wear non-modern attire. Teacher-student turnabout day took place April 28. Inter-class tug of war climaxed freak day April 29. Sophomores beat seniors in the contest at Harrison Park. Dressup day April 30 featured an auditorium session, slave sale, student-faculty basketball game and post-game soc hop with ORE.
