Class of 70 Defeats Juniors 19-13 SENIOR GIRLS BURST ONTO THE FIELD, prepared to completely smear the junior Powder Puff team. For the second time in the history of Yorktown High School, the class of 1970 successfully won both its junior powder puff game and its senior game. The annual foot- ball match was played on December 14 amid an upper field of mud. Although the juniors started practice a couple of weeks prior to the mighty seniors, the excellent coaching of Brent James and Steve Nelson led the class of 1970 on to a smashing victory. The junior class was coached by John Durham, Mike Murray, and Skip Court- ney. Senior co-captians Betsy East and Susan Anderson won the kick-off for the team, and from that play the class made their first touchdown by Lucy Sale. The junior co-captains were Vicki Walker and Charlene Gardner. The half carne with the seniors leading, even though junior Ann Tramonte ran for a touchdown. The second half of the game brought several minutes of excitement as the score neared a tie. With the quick running skill of senior Lucy Sale, the seniors won the game with a score of 19 to 13. AWAITING THE HIKE FROM LUCY MCCORMICK, Charlene Gardner, and Louann Tramonte size up the opposition. RIGHT HALFBACK LOUANN TRAMONTE sets out around the end as fellow juniors break a path for her.

HOMECOMING QUEEN JULIA GREGORY and her escort Paul Sanders lead off the first dance. Julia Gregory Reigns Over “Varykino” The fifth annual Homecoming Dance, “Varykino,” was held on December 20. Under the supervision of Recording Secretary Anne Pace, decorations chairman Anne Swallow transformed the cafeteria into a Russian winter palace. Upstairs the music was provided by “Babe”. The audi- torium lobby was hooded in black light with “Peace” rocking out the music. The Yorktown Stage Band, “Peace”, donated their services to the Student Council by giving the money for their playing to the SCA. Contrary to tradition, the students elected the Homecoming Queen and her Court in homeroom. In previous years the Mono- gram Club had handled the selection of the finalists. The student body and returning alumni witnessed the crowning of Homecoming Queen Julia Gregor)-, and the announce- ment of her Court. Lou Ann Tramonte was a junior attendant and Lindy Dalmk was sophomore attendant. Last years Homecoming Queen, Mary Lou Azevedo, was present for the announcement which was made by SCA President Gary Carson and the coronation by Mr. Kier. 23
