Hollywood extravaganza becomes a Mariner reality lt almost seemed as if the coronation was part of some Hollywood extravaganza, it was so glamorous. Each girl looked like a starlef as she piroutted out on the floor, her escort as her leading man.The music from the band gave the ceremony a romantic, nostalgic mood. The realization that this was a once in a lifetime experience was clear. Each little intake of breath, each excited whisper, each loud cheer from the audience as the honor court was announced was pre- cisely timed, perfectly on cue. The emotions of everyone, including the nominees, were on a roller coaster ride. As the princesses were named the suspense mounted. lt could almost be touched, be seen hanging in the air. The crossed fingers were countless. All eyes rested on the remaining two girls, Pam Schlicke and Patty Giendem. Unbearably the hostess paused before announcing the first runnerup . . . is Pam Schlicke. Wild cheering, crying and shouting broke out. Patty was weeping happily. The clapping thundefed as Patty and her escort, Mike Con- klin, walked to her throne. Patty was joined there by her mother and father. Mike didn't know what to do with the crown. All the con- fusion associated with any planned ceremony was evident, but it just made it all the more endearing. The reception afterwards was filled to the brim with kissing, hugging, and con- gratulations. Proud parents stood aside, beaming at their sons and daughters. Homecoming '77 fulfilled its theme to the letter, making everybody's dream come true and maybe even starting a few new ones. Upper left, Mike Conklin confusedly awaits Patty's crown- ing.

sims 1. A g ift 3 1 35 9 S its It brought out our spirit Homecoming Week, headed by Tracy Schroeder, brought out the imagination and spirit of the students of Mariner. Monday was Warm Fuzzy Day. The Home- coming committee handed out Warm Fuzzies to the student body to stimulate good feelings between people. At the end of the week, the senior class gave the rest of the school a gi- ant Warm Fuzzy as a remembrance of Home- coming l977. Tuesday was Coronation Day, so everyone was asked to dress up for the occasion. lf Co- ronation was the highlight of Homecoming, then Pairs Day was the most amusing day. A surprising number of students came as pairs or triplets, creating a very unusual sight in the halls and rooms of Mariner. A funeral was held for the Bruins on Thurs- day, Mourning Day. A real coffin was used and a gray ond red teddy bear was ceremo- niously laid to rest in it. Appropriately, eerie music was played all day to give iust the right atmosphere. The gym was a collage of the school colors as the students particpated in Blue and Gold Day on Friday. At the pep assembly, Queen Patty Giendem ordered the banishment of the Bruins. So ended Homecoming Week with a stu- pendous win over Cascade and a classy, ro- mantic dance afterwards in which all dreams came true. Ms' X ' as if 1 , pix, 22-Homecoming
