Myers, Riccelli Reign Topping the latter Homecoming events for the week were the crown- ing of the 1972 Homecoming King and Queen, Peter Riccelli and Renee Myers, and a special address by the Governor at the Coronation assem- bly. With a broken ankle, cast, and crutches. Queen Renee, escorted by King Pete Riccelli, reigned with dignity over the week ' s festivities and victorious football game with Roosevelt. The complimentary court of Cheryl Clark, Debbie Cook, Liz Gregg, Liz Tucci, Mary White and King candidates Chris Brookhart, Tom Comiskey, Mike Long, Steve Rasmussen and Jim Thorup, repre- sented most major clubs and sports — from cheerleading to DECA. A coveted speaker during an elec- tion year, Governor Robert Ray de- layed his campaign to address the student body, setting the mood for the Coronation assembly Friday morning. The band, Iron Horse, provided musical entertainment all the way from Beach Boys to hard rock at the Homecoming dance on Saturday night. More than 150 couples, one of the largest crowds in recent years, attended the semi-formal event held in the gym. Governor Robert Ray addresses students during the Coronation assembly (above). Queen candidates brightening Homecoming festivities include, front, left to right: Liz Gregg, Cheryl Clark, and Debbie Cook. Back row: Mary White and Liz Tucci (left).

Cheerleaders ' Light the Court ' Our new uniforms are so bright, we feel like we light the court, says cheerleading Co-Captain Mary White. After nine months devoted to fund raising, the girls finally pur- chased Dacron turtlenecks, skirts and knecsocks in a flashy maroon and gold combination. Fund raising aside, the 73 squad also won awards for spirit and cheerleading. Lincoln captured first place in both categories at the In- ternational Cheerleading Founda- tion ' s summer camp in Canton, Missouri.
