Page 29 text:

The class of ' 67 achieves first place as its bus pass¬ es through the arch of the year to portray the theme of Days Gone By. Each year the competition be¬ comes greater and ideas more ingenious. Weeks of preparation show off as the colorful and original floats emerge from those hidden barns where the works of art are created by the various classes and clubs. Lee Corder (left) and Chuck Hoffman (right) show signs of confusion and dismay as they observe the contortions of the go-go dancers of Woodson. Both of them play football and are beginning to wonder which is more strenuous and daring,, the survival on the football field or the dance floor. STUDENT LIFE 25

Bonfire, floats, and game: prelude to Homecoming weekend BEAT JAGUARS! shouted Cavaliers as excite¬ ment glowed on faces old and new. Falls Church was beaten, 35-18, as our football team achieved another victory at our third annual Homecoming game. The brilliant performance of the Symphonic Band was completed as the Cavalettes ushered in Woodson ' s Homecoming Court led by last year ' s gueen, Joyce Whetzel. Voices hushed in anticipa¬ tion and eyes focused on the field as Mr. Phipps crowned the 1966 Homecoming Queen, Nancy Abt. Majestically entitled Days Cone By, Wood¬ son ' s cafeterias reflected the genuine warmth of chivalry in bloom. Exquisite flourishes of red and gold adorning the walls, a scintillating fire in the hearth, and resplendent knightly armor turned back the pages of history to a setting of medieval splen¬ dor. The evening passed quickly amid the rhythmic beat of the English Setters while alumni mingled once more with Woodson students. Pam Rittman, Donna Fenerty, Ellen Baishore, Nancy Apt (queen), Liz Downey, Jeanne Rosow, Karen Theurer, Susie Ludtke, and (not shown) Jackie Whetzel.
