Amid cascading rain which caused drooping hair-dos and umbrellas to spring up like mushrooms, the 1971 Homecoming was quite distinctive. The stage was set for excitement; the enthusiastic chants of the cheerleaders, the pretty class representatives led by Queen Donna Oer- tel, and the lilting tunes of the band created an atmo- sphere and spirit undampened by the weather. After an undaunted attempt for victory by the Dukes, the Powhatan Indians triumphed with a score of 33-7, but the night was not yet completed. Students, faculty, and alumni of the classes of'21, '31, '51, and '61 assem- bled later to dance away somewhat drooping spirits. In- cluded in the entertainment was the music of “The Galaxies.” Homecoming Includes Gala Activities With Noble Touch Queen Donna Oertel smiles joyously after being crowned Miss Homecoming with her father and attendents.
