HOMECOMING POWER The week began with the usual bustling excitement of Homecoming time. Floats had to be designed and constructed, strategems for the game had to be decided, and orders for corsages had to be made. On Thursday night a spirited student body greeted the cheerleaders, the team, and the band. The cheerleaders insured the spirit of the team by giving the coaches and the team large lollipops stating, Lick 'Em! Friday evening the team, the cheerleaders, the royal court, the band, and the twirlers assembled at the courthouse for the Homecoming parade. The Yellowjackets fought a long hard game but lost to the DuQuoin Indians. At halftime Miss Jeanne Brown was crowned 1969 Homecoming Queen by the retiring queen. Miss Linda Sellers. In the float competition the band won first place; the second place was taken by the seniors; and student council won third place. On Saturday night the students had an enjoyable evening dancing in the atmosphere of the circus. 8 70 POWER

CIRCUS DAY The queen and her court dance to a special song. The music for the Chester High School Homecoming Dance was provided by the Saratoga Trunque. The music was very effective and was enjoyed by everyone. The theme of the dance was Circus Day. The bright lights, shining balloons, and miniature clowns put everyone in the mood of circus life. Mrs. Paetzhold and her art classes and the Student Council did an effective job. The evening was topped off with the presentation of the golden football to Queen Jeanne Brown. The queen's attendants were April Aspley, Mavis Weber, Barb Mulholland, and Jane Sweany. The music was enjoyed by everyone. 10
