AMPLER FORMS THE THEME FOR HOMECOMING¬ ' S The second place senior float demands that the Apache team twist the cat ' s tail with its motto, “Stomp those Tigers.” This junior float defies the Warsaw Tigers (masquerading here as Captain Cat) to “Catch Me If You Can. ’ “Got the Coach—Got the Team!” This freshman float re¬ flects the conviction of all Apache fans at homecoming. 9

A MOTHER GOOSE Homecoming Queen Sharon Wilkerson is surrounded by her court—junior Sylvia Pressler, sophomore Karen Fisher, and freshman Vicki Kafoure. “Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.” Then they had a nasty fall—or so the story goes. But, on the prize winning homecoming float, Jack and Jill were not the ones who tumbled. They remained on their lofty perch to watch the Mighty Apaches dampen the spirits of the Warsaw Tigers by handing them a 26-0 defeat. The Wabash High School Band advanced the homecoming theme, “Fairy Tales,” with an Arabian Nights half-time performance in which they formed a crown for the coronation of the senior candidate, Sharon Wilker¬ son, as Homecoming Queen. She was escorted by Lars Hvitved, WHS’s exchange student from Den¬ mark. Sharon received her crown and a bouquet of red roses from student body president Nelson Bahler. The sophomore class won first place in the float competition with their illustration of the slogan, “Spill those Tigers.” The seniors placed second with a new interpretation of “The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.” Her children gave her no trouble; they spent all their time stomping Tigers. After scalping Warsaw, the Jacks and Jills of Wabash moved to Honeywell’s for a dance sponsored by the Sycamore to celebrate their victory. Jack and Jill push the sophomore float down the hill and into first place with their request to “Spill those Tigers.” 8

WELCOME. 70 HAWAII The juniors with Steve Armie, junior class presi¬ dent, as general chairman spent weeks preparing for this year’s prom. Their efforts paid off in a lovely dance based on an ancient Hawaiian custom—the luau. Orchids and leis accented the evening, and the decorations and refreshments followed the style of our fiftieth state. The traditional candlelighting service for seniors and the singing of the school hymn were conducted by Margaret Wolf as this year’s “Spirit of WHS.” Kay Finfrock, Miss Dove, Pat Bridenthal, and Marsha Ohmart keep busy serving Hawaiian-style food to the hungry Apaches at the Prom. These senior girls line up to light their candles in preparation for the traditional farewell service. 10
