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. ..

As The Dance Began, The Football Defeat Was Forgotten Maybe it was the brass and strings band. Maybe it was the surprisingly agreeable weather. Maybe it was because this was the first dance of the year. Anyway, the dance floor was packed with excited students and graduates in spite of an earlier 20-12 loss to Lincolnton by our football team. The band, “Earth Child, played only one slow song, but there were enough people dancing that closeness was unavoidable. Some listened to the band and watched everyone else, but most got out on the floor and danced. Above right Lisa Ballard gets into a song played by Earth Child. At right Gerald Flowers and Margaret Reid get down and boogie. Opposite page Denise Wither- spoon and Julie Roberts get to- gether and bump during this fast number. 20 Homecoming
