Football, Royalty Bon- Clearing time for the Queen nomination, selection, and presentation and for Friday's aud met the opposition of teachers who disliked their class time being cut. Student Senators had to set up the activities, then sign up par- ticipating students at lunch. Senate also hoped to make some money out of this. The twentieth anniversary also had to be observed. That meant choosing an ap- propriate theme f The Hands of Time, better known as Brian's Song, which also tied in with foot- balll, presenting a replay of the last twenty years at the Aud, and arranging for the first Homecoming Queen, Marilyn Lykam Swarm, to crown this year's winner. Understandably, making this exciting made a formida- ble task even tougher. No one person can do it. But a couple thousand stu- dents can. They made it memorable by giving their time, by decorating for the Auds the night before, by spending a week making decorations, and one whole Saturday put- ting them up in the Cafeteria for the Dance, by designing floats for the Car Rally, by creating and rehearsing skits for the Aud. They did it, inadvertently, by voting an absolute tie for Queen, giving West its first pair of queens. They did it simply by mak- ing the most of every event, by Senior Merle Delinger cutting into the Powder Puff Football Game, dressed as a girl, by turning the pie - eat- ing contest into a pie-throw- ing contest, by filling the air and covering the practice field with toilet paper, even hanging it on the goal post, after the Mummy Wrap. They did it at the game and the Aud and the dance. They did it all so there'd be something to talk about and remember later. All so that 2700 students wouldn't be bored.
