Topped Off By Wheeler Victory Pep Club president Julie Jensen launched 1976 Homecoming festivities with the introduction of queen candidates Cynthia Shoesmith, Vilinda Clemsen, Mary Giles, Teresa Wiges, and Sherilyn Severin at the October 3rd pep rally. Spirit Week featured a blast from the past as all girls dressed up as Betty Lou. Not to be outdone, the boys greased up as the “Fonz” on Wednesday, and on Thurs- day the faculty lent their support by dolling up in their best threads of the fifties. The juniors presented the winning skit at the Thursday night pep rally where they also won the spirit stick. The rally ended up in smoke as co-captains Dirk Chris- tensen, Scott Hansen, and Doug Gleason lit the dummy representing Lake City. On Friday, cheers echoed through the halls as everybody fired up for the big game that night. The freshman’s float, “Hurry on down to Wheelers, where the Ea- gles are charco-broiled” captured first place in the parade that afternoon. At half- time Friday night, festivities climaxed as senior class president Mitch Jensen crowned Mary Giles, Homecoming Queen. The Fightin’ Forty-five bombed Lake City 63-zip, and the festivities were topped off as everyone danced to the music of “Bourbon St.” in the cafeteria. 27
