Crowns Adorn CAC BEAU JIM CROTTS Royal heads; jackets warm favored folk Homecoming, Christmas, spring time! For each exciting season, Wildkats chose royal couples to reign. Sweethearts and Beaus spiced clubs with glamor. First came Homecoming on Oct. 11, when Billie Lackey and Sam Martinez were chosen from a line of princes and princesses and crowned by 1973's Queen, Inez Pena. On Dec. 21, the seniors crowned and gifted their King and Queen, Clifford Cauthen and Nancy Garcia. Runners-up were Jeanine Crum, Debbie Green; and Tim Cox, Larry Allred, Jeff Poage (see page 75). The juniors honored two more seniors at the Prom on April 26: Larry Crotts and Nancy Merrell. Attendants were Anita Garcia and Marilyn Richins; Tim Cox and Juan Herrera. With spring came parties and banquets, and the GAC-sponsored volleyball game. The FHA Fifties party was the setting for the sweatering of Beau Dale Howard, whose best men were Jim Crotts, J. Brent Lunt, and Jeff Poage. At the volleyball game on May Day, GAC President Marsha Lunt kissed the happy King, Jim Crotts, with Brad Boyd, Dean Crum, and Brent A. Lunt standing by. At the Parent and Member Banquet on April 24, the Future Farmers revealed their choice: Kimmie Cox, whose attendants were Sue Ellen Shreve and Nancy Lunt. Roses and bracelets and crowns and tears and happy faces—it was exciting! 19 JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM KING AND QUEEN LARRY CROTTS, NANCY MERRELL
