Thursday was the day when each class had a chance to display their acting abilities and also a time in which they presented their princesses. The Freshmen had a pagaent where judges chose a princess to represent their class. Jennifer Clow won hands down. The Sophomores and Juniors reminisced with early graduates of Astoria High who described their experiences while they attended here. Seniors came up with a completely different approach. They used a time machine to look back into the past and also to collect materials needed for a victory over the Lake Oswego Lakers. The skit pulled in a fi rst place over all and was described by watchers as awesome.

SEIIOB It appeared as if the Sophomores were going to repeat their previous night ' s victory as they swept the first two events of the classical Homecoming Olympics. The events are the same as the International Olympics with a little touch of variation. The classes, dazed after the Sophomores quick start settled down for the third event, the Cross Country race (eight students from each class run backwards) this event was won by the Senior class. The shot put was the next event this consisted of a member of each class throwing a balloon as far as possi¬ ble. This was won by the seniors also. The senior class went on to rewrite the record books as they won nine of the thirteen events out-distancing the nearest class by over thirty points. They received ten points in the over¬ all competition for their victory. The Sophomores col¬ lected six points for their second place, while the Juniors followed with three points and the Freshmen finished last and netted two points.

This year ' s Homecoming reached its climax when the student body chose Senior Princess Lori Latvala to preside over the weeks events as 1979 Homecoming Queen. Lois was crowned during an assembly on Tuesday and made an excellent Queen from that point on. AHS ' s famous Swing Choir provided a background of music as the court entered. Also providing entertainment were the singing duet Lori Olienyk and companion Joe Strandjord. They sang a breath-taking song that brought tears to the audiences ' eyes. Doug Jacobson was the Master of Ceremonies and did a good job until he forgot Brock Lower ' s name.
