Homecoming Queen Rhonda Owens Every year there are five Senior girls elected from their class to be Homecoming Queen candidates: They are FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Cheryl Gerhold and escort Mark Haynes, Queen Rhonda Owens and escort Larry Wear, Kim Tritle and escort Robin Burrell, Donna Usher and escort Terry Nielsen, and Valarie Vos and escort David Roseberry. The Queen candidates were driven out on the field at half time in cor- vettes rented from the Corvette Club from Cedar Rapids. The girl's escorts during the half time were the drivers of their corvette. Each year Homecoming is a little different. This year the student council decided to go all out on Homecoming Week. Monday was the usual Hat Day, and Tuesday saw quite a few ripped up shirts and old clothes for Grub Day. Wednesday, students and teachers alike joined in a 50's day wearing long skirts and other outfits representative of that decade. A wall of paper held pledges from the students to the players on Thursday to show school support for the team. Thursday afternoon was filled with voting and predictions for homecoming queen. Also the cheerleaders and players led the students and faculty to the bonfire and pep rally. That night between showers of bubble gum and can- dy, spectators watched the parade around town. On Friday the players attended school in their jerseys impatiently awaiting the game, and that night the Center Point Pointers dueled the Maquoketa Valley Wildcats. At half time, the band displayed the outcome of alot of hard work. The Senior Class was designated winner of the class float contest with their theme You Expect More from Pointers and You Get lt, and last year's queen, Debbie Roseberry, crowned Rhonda Owens as the 1973-74 Homecoming Queen. Pointer pride and alot of spirit then led Center Point on to a victory with a score of 39-14 to celebrate a great end to an exciting week! After the game, everyone relaxed to the music of the Zyloceck Brothers at the dance, and another Homecoming became a precious memory.

I r Liao annual... Matte en i UPF I! 4 av .525 QW It F? W6 HW This Annual Staff had a lot of firsts this year and some ups and downs but they finally got it all together. This is the year that a dark room came to C.P.H.S. With the help of Mr. Strempke, Mr. Butschi, and Mrs. Conroy the dark room was used almost everyday. There is an enlarger, dryer, film canaster, and film and picture developing chemicals. Rhonda Owens and Mike Corum were shown how to develop and enlarge pictures so they spent most of their time in the dark room. This is the first year the staff sold 250 books. It was a lot of work but it paid off. This is also the first year to have a colored picture on the cover, colored Senior Pictures and current event end sheets. A lot of time was spent on the Annual and inthe dark room. You'll be able to see just how much effort went into this book. We had a lot of fun putting the Annual together and we hope you have just as much fun reliving the many memories found here. sale is ONLY 5 QU if il TOP: Mike Corum is shown working with the enlarger in the dark room. Mike was also our photographer and whenever anybody wanted a picture to be taken they would call for Mike. MIDDLE LEFT: Gail Kramer, Susan Kidd, Cindy Nelson, Sue Lown, and Cindy Bauserman are conferring with Mike on some pictures that they need to be enlarged or developed. MIDDLE RIGHT: Mrs. Conroy shows relief when all of the 62 pages that had to be done by April 1 were sent in on March 29. LEFT: Quite an unusual happening. Tim Stallman hands Rhonda Owens his 500 pennies. He paid for his annual with pennies but we assured him he would receive his annual no matter what he paid with as long as it equals 35.00.

JUNIOR FLOAT SOPHOMORE FLOAT A Week to Remember FFKESHMAN FLOAT SENIOR FLOAT Every year a week before homecom- ing all the high school classes get together and choose a theme for their class float. Then appoint a committee to plan the float. Then comes the hassle of getting a hayrack, finding a place to build the float, and trying to get all the kids there to work. Well somehow all the floats were finished on time and they all looked great. The winning float this year was Senior's float whose theme was You Ex- pect More from Pointers, and You Get lt. It was a gas station on a football field with Pointer sign turning around from the top of the station. The Junior's theme was Stomp Em. They made a large foot that was stomping a wildcat into the ground. The Sophomore's float was Wildcats, Breakfast of Champions. They had a large box of wildcats and a cereal bowl with a wildcat's tail and paws sticking out on a kitchen table. The Freshman float was Recording a Victrola. It was a large victrola with a record playing that turned around with a Pointer Dog chasing a Wildcat on top of it. Much time was spent on the floats and they were all glad when they were done. But after they have all graduated they will remember the fun it was making and tear- ing down those time consuming and costly floats.
