All during the night they erected booths and constructed floats. By morning the floats blossomed — a sen- ior jack-in-the-box, a junior clown, a freshman fat lady, and a prize winning junior elephant. By 8:00 A.M., the Homecoming circus was ready. From 11:15, students and alumni strolled around the quad under hot and sunny skies. Booths sold everything from caramel apples to Devo glasses, with DECA ' s sausages winning the prize for the best booth. After the band Premonition rocked out in the quad, the advance dance group climbed into the ring to do a clown act, which was followed by alumni Dana Daniels and Cheryl Boone per- forming a magic show. There were contests throughout the day, with Lisa Whitten and Cindy Stutzman winning the best costume award for their performing horse, and Chris Brown winning the Mr. Masculine Muscles contest. At the rally afterwards, the band and pep groups performed, and Lance Skohn- berg from Millikan ' s first graduation class spoke to the crowd. Activities Homecoming 19

Kelly Carousels to Crown With a packed stadium cheering, a giant car- ousel holding the Homecoming court and escorts made its way around the football track on a cool October evening just before the Compton game. The party emerged to stand in front of the throne as the band played a greeting and the ROTC stood at attention. The crowd hushed, and then Mr. Zimmermann introduced the 1978 Homecoming queen Suzie Stutzman to crown the new queen — Kelly Evans. The five-foot-five-inch, brown-haired Queen led a busy life dividing her time between waitressing at The Gallery, performing as a cheerleader, and being a best friend and confidante to her twin sis- ter Kathy. Lots of people can ' t tell Kathy and me apart, said Kelly, even though we wear different clothes. We ' ve had lots of fun confusing people over the years. It must have been especially con- fusing for diners at The Gallery, since both girls worked there.
