Gil Oh, What Feeling To Be A Queen 'll was really excited and surprised when l found out I was the Homecoming queenfl Shelley Marquis declared. 'il was an atten- dant my freshman year, lt was an even big- ger thrill to be queen. Nominations by the students were taken in the Activity Center. The girls on the nomi- nation list were narrowed down to the top ten. The top ten girls were voted on by the pupils and the girl with the most votes be- came queen. The freshman attendant was Andrea Coombes. The sophomore attendant was Lisa Carducci. Cammy Carson was the junior attendant, and Jennifer Palor was the senior attendant. These girls, along with Shelley, were chosen because they are in- volved in school activities and reveal just some of the beauty at Basic. Shelley is the Student Body Vice-Presi f homecoming activities li in in vw-q. --Q..,,. ,V Mgt-w dent and Varsity Cheerleader Co-Captain.

It took about a month for me to get everything organized for the Pep Rally. l had to contact all of the performing groups and alumni cheerleaders, said Student Body Vice-President Shelley Marquis. I liked the final outcome of the Rally, although if the p.a. system was working it would have run smoother. The band practiced their halftime review for about three weeks. The members of the band marched in the morning on the football field. Under the leadership of their director, Mr. Brent Cecil, the baton twirlers, flag twirlers, Desertaires, and instrumentalists also promenaded in the annual Homecoming parade. I was pleased with our float, stated Sen- ior Kathy Kline. The night before the parade our float wasn't finished. We worked until 12:00 p.m. that night to finish it. This was the common story among the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen also. Working late into the night before the parade, each 12 homecoming activities class completed their float with little time to spare. The Desertaires continued their tradition of picking a brother who is a member of the Varsity football team. During Homecom- ing week the Desertaires inspired their brothers by giving them cards, candy, and other gifts. They also have a barbeque in their brother's honor. Most people only see the outcome of all the school activities. They don't realize how many hours, details, arrangements, sched- ules, rehersals, and trivial items are handled by individuals to make Homecoming 1981 a success. 1. The beauty and flair required to hold such a position is displayed by Homecoming Queen Shelley Mar- quis. She models the hand-made gown tailored to perfection. 2.

Along with the band, Desertaires, and baton twirlers, the flag twirl- ers created unique formations for the special event. 2
