Excitement and happiness plus show on the faces of Karen Willmann and escort Jeff Holloway, when the 76 Homecoming Queen is revealed. Walt Disney himself added spark to Homecoming when all festivities were backed with the animated It ' s a Small Small World theme. Climaxing a week of roasting Argylls over bonfires, Karen Willmann was crowned 1976 Homecoming Queen. After receiving roses and a kiss from Student Council president Chris Fread, Karen was congratulated by her court consisting of seniors, Pam Bonham and Lynn Lewis; Teri Wimmer, junior; Rhonda Smith, sophomore; and fresh- man Julie Bailey. Football was popular with both boys and girls. Male players downed Madi- son-Grant, 35-23. Team Four won the fifth annual girls ' Powder Puff competi- tion sponsored by the cheerleaders. It ' s amazing how so much activity can go on in our microcosm of a county. Truly Blackford County is a small, small world.

EASINq TENSioN Climbing out of bed Sunday morn, to get dressed up, attend church, and come home is not the extent of all religious activities. How much time one is willing to spend is usually the deciding factor. Sweat-dripping brows accompanied with aching muscles haven ' t dis- couraged the many church league basketball teams from a mind-easing game of basketball . Participating in a different way, the girls add an occasional yell and sometimes sell goodies. Chili suppers and fattening ice cream socials are great for an empty stomach and a neighborhood get together. The variety of programs is endless, ranging from slides showing the poverty in Haiti to a church service completely panto- mimed by a clown. For a nursing home shut-in, a visit from a couple Youth Fellowship members can make a sad face smile once again. Like sports, music, and work, religion for some students is an important ingredient in life. r - i«i!! mfL Death, something that every- one at one time must face, is discussed between Bridget Caney, Rita Cole, and Campus Life Director Shirley Prichett.
