Queen Colleen captures ero wn With a few guitar twangs and a smattering of sour notes, the band tuned up and Hill Homecoming 1970 was off to a good start. It was the evening of October 10 and fall fashions dominated the scene. Shimmering satins and crinkly crepes were only outdone by flourishing corsages of roses and carnations. For the boys this would be a night quite unlike the usual. Nojeans, no shouting. Just formalities galore and more. Then the room hushedg the queen candidates entered. And lo and behold from a group of everyday Murray girls emerged - a queen. Co-captain Berry Persby crowned Colleen Colwell and the beaming queen led off the traditional royalty dance. But, what,s this? Slipping, sliding, guck and muck? And raindrops keep falling on their heads. Why - it's the pioneers. But after the dance? Yep, and their frolicking didn't even affect them. Or did it? Anyway they won the game against the Tommies, 12-7. And what did they have, but . . a victory! UPPER RIGHT: Barry Persby crowns Colleen Colwell Hill Homecoming Queen 1970.

And it looks as if they're doing just that. The Pioneers ofcourse. And they finally scored! 76fHomecoming
