Homecoming 79- one unified body ceremonies were held on the morning of October 25 with Gary Frey being crowned Homecoming King and Rochelle Schmidt being crowned Homecoming Queen. The attendants were Gina Sadowski, Larry Gro- nau, Teena Bolton and Kent Franz. A Following the ceremony, the royalty and attendants vvent to- Renee Studios for pictures and then were driven to the Old Mill Restaurant by a chauffered limousine for their noon meal. As tradition goes, the crown, medal, and rose bearers were the small children of New- ton faculty. The six chosen were Stacie, Alli- son, and Angela Hunter, daughters of Gary and Beverly Hunter, Molly Triggs, daughter of Charles and Sharon Triggs, Justin Thaw, son of Jack and JoAnn Thaw, and Tosha Whit- field, daughter of Bick and Benie Whitfield. Suspense captured the audience in antici- pation of who was to be crowned, and enthusiasm was displayed when the secret was revealed. Come game time, the feeling of en- thusiasm was still going strong. Although the Railers lost their Homecom- ing game, they played one of their better games of the season. lVlany Newtonians came out to support the Bailers whereas the support of the Hutch team was not as great. The aire of rivalry between the two teams seemed as if it wasn't there. Newton got off to a good start as within the first three minutes of the game, Jeff Abney ran 43 yards for a touchdown. According to Coach Bon Gould, Doug Pauls aided Jeff Abney with his super blocking. The 1979 Homecoming float with King Gary Frey, and Queen Rochelle Schmidt, Attendants Larry Gronau and Gina Sadowski, Kent Franz and Teena Bolton was escorted during the halftime show. The Nlarching Band also participated during the halftime show. After the game, the homecoming dance was held at NHS with lVlike Floyd as dj. But as the week came to an end, the ex- citement and unity about the school did not. Unity was the driving force of Homecoming '79, but it was the people that made it happen. HOIVIECOMING 17
