Worth the trouble? The juniors probably wonder if the money they make on the magazine campaign is worth all the headaches that lie ahead. Hey, mister, wanna buy some brownies? Come on. Let us wash your car! These and other pleading phrases were used by students to get business at bake sales and car washes, two popular money-making projects. Dimes, nickels, and pennies were collected by clubs and classes to be used to finance their main objectives. The variety of projects would almost blow a person's mind. Students became instant door-to- door salesman during the Junior's magazine campaign. At home basketball games, chances for luscious cakes were peddled by different clubs. Dances were used by the Student Forum and Middle School Council as a new money-raising device, and the device proved to be a good way to make a buck. Made of styrofoam and colored feathers, waddlebirds were seen waddling on their puppet strings down the halls; these unique birds' were sold by the Senior Class. The Sophomores got an early start raising money for their Junior-Senior by selling class key rings at a table set under the hall phone. Look at all the money we made! We're rich!

Going through the rehearsals, we can almost feel the excitement and tension of the 1976 Homecoming ceremony when Penny Stokes was crowned Queen. All of us senior girls dreamed about the day when we would be vying for the title. Now, our chances at the crown are only a little time away. Several Homecoming practices were held in the gym before Homecoming night, January 22. The girls were shown how to move out onto the basketball court and where to stand until they had their positions memorized. Standing in front of the large crowd of peering faces, last-minute jitters crept through our bodies. Everyone had his eyes on us. Who would become the new queen? As the long awaited moment arrived, our nervousness left us. Stephanie Marsh was crowned the 1977 Homecoming Queen. Emily Aimar was selected as her Maid of Honor. Crowned. Stephanie Marsh is crowned the Homecoming Queen by past Queen, Penny Stokes, while Col. Ahrens presents her twelve roses. For me? Maid of Honor, Emily Aimar, is presented six roses by Mr. Mitchell.
