Tradition Carried On Tenseness and excitement showed on the faces of candidates and students alike as the I960 Homecoming Tapping Assembly opened. The first to be tapped were the two girls who tied for Freshman Maid honors, Kathy Golembeski and Nancy Stanquits. Sophomore Joan Mansfield captured the title for her class while Janet Spangler served as the Junior Maid. Making her third appearance in the court was the Senior Maid, Sandy Asher. To touch off the assembly lovely Bobo Christides was tapped for the honor of being Homecoming Queen I960. Ahead of the royal six a memorable week was waiting. First, the Queen’s Assembly which formally introduced Queen Bobo and her court to the student body. Then Homecoming evening arrived and the halftime program presented the court to a cheering football crowd. A quiet hush fell over the crowd as tradition found Gay Ann Park, 1959 Homecoming Queen, crowning Bobo, our new Queen. Following the game, the queen and her court reigned royally over the proceedings. Climaxing the night '‘Stardust,” the Homecoming dance, lent to the evening and the Alumni Coffee Hour brought to light the meaning of Homecoming. Exciting halftime entertainment was provided when the lights were dimmed and Judye Fife twirled a baton of fire. Stardust sparkled in the eyes of Nola Wells, Milton Knotts, from Pontiac Central, Joan Wooley and David Smith as they enjoyed the Homecoming dance music. Making an appearance at the Coffee Hour is I960 Homecoming Queen, Bobo Christides.

Comedy and humor highlighted the Senior Play, MY SISTER EILEEN, given in the new Little Theater. The class of '61 did an outstanding job as was shown by the large number of people who came to see the performers portray their parts. Moving from Columbus, Ohio to Greenwich Village, in New York, Ruth Sherwood, a plain girl with a dry sense of humor and her sister, Eileen, a very attractive girl and quite naive in her thoughts, come to take the city by storm. Confusion reigns supreme in the small apartment they have rented from Mr. Appopolous. The confusion is topped by a surprise visit from Mr. Sherwood, who wants the girls to come home. Ruth finds a job and they decide to stay. Other cast members included: Lee Pike, Mel Joseph, Fred Manning, Fred Warrick, Ron Jyleen, Carene Denne, Jim Gunter, Dave Galligan, Darwin Donaldson, Bob Knight, Cappy Buehrig, Leroy Spencer and Mary Robbins. (At right): Eileen (Gay Ann Huffman) and Ruth Sherwood (Sally Moore) agree to sign Mr. Appopulous’s (Dennis Galligan) exploit contract. Ruth (Sally Moore) suddenly finds that the Brazilian Navy has followed her sister Eileen (Gay Ann Huffman) to their apartment. Sailors Bob Knight, Dave Galligan, Jim Gunter, Cappy Buehrig, Darwin Donaldson and LeRoy Spencer salute Eileen. Chick Clark (Larry Blackett), a rather aggressive reporter, chasing Eileen Sherwood (Gay Ann Huffman), suddenly upsets Frank Lippencott’s (Gary Baker) drink as they propose a toast to Eileen and Ruth for success in New York.
