homecoming To begin the Homecoming preparation, the senior class nominated five queen candidates. The five girls who were nominated were, Carol Felch, Ruth Koshak, Carla Novitzke, Darla Obernberger, and Jean Weiss. Immediately after their nomination, these girls began planning for active campaigns. Soon the school walls were papered with signs and just about everyone wore a button to support the girl of their choice. In an all-school election, Carol Felch was chosen as the 1967 Homecoming Queen and Carla Novitzke was elected to be the Senior Attendant. As the final week before Homecoming arrived, the individual classes began work on their floats, each with the motive of winning first prize. The first night of the festivities began with the Pep rally, which assembled downtown. The Band and the cheerleaders weaved through town in single file, arousing spirit for the coming events of the week- end. The night was topped off with the bonfire.
