Coronation 1977 22 hom« oming Here she is, Miss America! Dorothy Benham, Miss America 1977, honored Cooper by attending this year’s Homecoming Coronation. Miss Benham sang a melody of love songs and told us a little about her career as Miss America. Miss Benham also assisted Pam Mills and Jeff Davis, the former Cooper Homecoming Queen and King in crowning the new royalty. The royalty candidates were chosen by the senior class, and the fall sport teams. The first twenty-two candidates were as follows: Bernie Arseneau, Steve Correll, Steve Ferry, Steve Hemingway, Mark Kane, Andre LaBerge, Jim McGuire, Bob Peppe, Doug Plasencia, Mark Stiff, Joe Voydetich, Dianne Clough, Colleen Corcoran, Kris Evans, Natalie Hanson, Cindy Herlofsky, Lynn Hiller, Janet Muehlbauer, Roberta Reimer, Gretchen Schack, Mary Thureson, and Jane Wicks. From these candidates, ten were then chosen to become the royalty. These ten were Bernie Arseneau, Steve Ferry, Steve Hemingway, Andre LaBerge, Jim McQuire, Colleen Corcoran, Cindy Herlofsky, Janet Muehlbauer, Gretchen Schack, and Mary Thureson. After these ten were chosen they decided to have the traditional pictures taken for the annual at a different place. They took a couple of hours off from school one morning, and went out to Theodore Wirth Parkway. Wherever the tall scenery seemed exceptionally beautiful, they stopped for a pose or two. Everyone enjoyed the free time to get to know each other a little better. The Coronation, (planned well by Mr. Kloos), went smoothly, and the audience cheered as Janet Muehlbauer and Steve Hemingway were chosen to be the 1977-78 Homecoming Queen and King. Queen Janet felt that “the ceremony was exceptionally unique. I am very honored to be the new Homecoming Queen. But I am equally honored to have been given the opportunity to share about Jesus Christ's love and help to me.” Mrs. Bye also agreed that the Coronation went exceptionally well. She commented, “School spirit really became evident at the voluntary pepfest and Coronation this year. It was the best display of student involvement I've ever seen!

A Tribute To Humphrey Looking back in recent years of politics, we find one name mentioned frequently: Hubert H. Humphrey. We Minnesotans are especially proud to have had him represent our state. During his political career he was mayor of Minneapolis, Senator, and Vice President of the United States. Not only was he successful in the political world but also with his personal life. He once said that the greatest gift in life is the gift of friendship. He shared this gift with many different kinds of people. He won the love and admiration of all mankind by his sympathy for the poor and his interest in the problems of all America. Many people thought of him as a legend in his own time. This year we lost this wonderful man to the much dreaded disease of cancer. This brought much sorrow to the many people he touched during his life. A close friend of his, Walter Mondale, expressed it well: ‘‘He taught us how to hope and how to live, how to win and how to lose; he taught us how to live and, finally, he taught us how to die.” We all miss Hubert Humphrey, but the spirit of the happy warrior” will always remain.
