Homecoming activities seem to have have lost some sparkle and excitement in the eyes of many students. Even the dance after the football game, where the band Satan played, was not given as much at- tention as usual. Complaints ranged from “the dance was too short’’ to “the halftime activities and the election of the queen and princesses should be organized in a different way.” Few Complaints, however, were regis- tered about the radiant queen and her court. Toni Coley, a varsity cheerleader, was chosen 1974 Homecoming Queen by the C.C.H.S. student body. This makes the third consecutive year Toni was chosen to represent her class. Senior at- tendants consisted of Angela Chapman, maid of honor; Wanda Reeves and Lynne Black, senior princesses. Underclassmen made up the rest of Miss Coley’s court. Sandra Reaves represented the juniors; sophomore princess was Beth Broman, and Valerie Coleman was chosen by the Freshman. The homecoming game on September 27 received no complaints at all with Culpeper Blue Devils’ victory over Ma- toaca Indians, 28-14. im 7a Not knowing she will soon be crowned 1974 Homecoming Queen, Toni Coley and her escourt Rob Blosser patiently wait for halftime festivities to begin. Before Angela Chapman finds she has been selected Maid of Honor, she tries to conceal her excitement while escort Lonnie Hamilton stands by her side. HOMECOMING
