Patton, Singers, Bananas and Billy Jock in 2 Hours Anytime 20 teenagers get together to create a show, some wild and silly ideas will emerge. The entertaining combination of these two factors is what the Beta Club sought in producing the Spring Festival. The 1975 Spring Festival was just the second public extravaganza ever to be staged in the new multi-purpose room. The new stage helped make the show an easier one to present. The Beta Club sponsors, creates, produces, directs, and performs in this annual show. This year the Spring Festival featured Friday Night at the Movies , satirizing Billy Jack ( Billy Jock with athlete's foot), The Towering Inferno (a hot bedroom scene), Patton (Patton discovers he has an all female troop), and television advertising (advertising the versatile banana). However, satire wasn't everything. Beta Club members who had both the necessary talent and intestinal fortitude sang and played the piano. The Beta Club has too few people to provide continu- ous entertainment, so Mr. Sam Harbinson and his Mid- night Moods played their own arrangement of hit songs to enliven the slow spots.

Miss Donna Baker Crowned Homecoming Queen The first rainy spell in a month came the week before Homecoming. Nights were damp and chilly and all worried about whether the weather would permit the game, court, and dance. The weather cleared by Friday. When the sun set and the lights were lit, the wind whispered with windbreaker comfort. The moon shone above cloudless skies. The stands were filled with excited fans. Halftime arrived and with it came the ladies. Class attendants and the sponsored court marched anxiously to their positions. The crowd waited tensely as 2nd runner-up Susan Bryson and 1st runner-up Beverly McGee were an- nounced. After a drum roll the speaker blared, The 1975 Bandys High School Homecoming Queen is. ..
