A trip to Canada highlighted the summer for Royal Bands- men. Their performance in the halftime show of the Canadian Argonauts—Hamilton Tiger-Cats game on July 30 appeared on scheduled agenda. PGHS opened its doors on August 28. Cheerleaders wel- comed new students with hand- books telling of the school, and an assembly informed them of the day’s procedure. The elec- tion of homeroom representa- tives in September completed membership of the SCA and gave every homeroom voice in student affairs. The PG Royals scored a vic- tory against Lee-Davis, 18-0, on Homecoming, October 3. Cindy Perdue, chosen Homecoming Queen 1969, completed her court with sophomore Mary McLean and junior Kim Keesee.

The ordering of rings by juniors on October 16 initiated the seemingly endless wait for February 14 to arrive. Eighteen applicants to the Beta Club were inducted on the night of October 21. In the customary candlelit ceremony, the National Honor Society selected ten juniors and four seniors on October 28. Senior football players, cheer- leaders, and band members made sad farewells in their last home football game with Meadow- brook on November 7. Prince George whipped Meadowbrook 28-16 with fine defensive play. The next morning seniors traveled to Charlottesville to view the UVA-Wake Forest foot- ball game. At halftime, several lucky seniors talked with Gover- nor-elect A. Linwood Holton. School Life 23
