Mr. George, Homecoming Queen Paige Buren, and former queen Sandy Findley greet viewers after crowning. Sandra Findley cedes title to Paige Buren Summer comes to an ab- rupt end when August 21 brings PG teachers together for a pre-school workshop. On the following Tuesday morning, cars and buses flood the school parking lot returning students to the old grind. Early September finds the student body filing into the gym for a safety assem- 14School Life bly presented by the state troopers. Janie Sule then ac- cepts the Safety Flag for the school that week. Activities for the October 4 Meadowbrook game begins with the nine homecoming candidates riding down the field to “Put On A Happy Face.” After the applause dies down, Paige Buren, Faye Boisseau, and Wendy Harris beam as the victors. Two days later, memories of homecoming fade into a fast- paced scheme to make money for the Peerage. Cooking, packaging and delivering of homemade Brunswick stew brings in expanded funds—a net profit of $300—which help finance the yearbook.
