' Grand Illusion ' Homecoming is only one of the many activities that make school life more exciting. Grand Illusion was chosen as the theme of the 78-79 Homecom- ing festivities, which included a football victory, assembly, and finally a dance. Various groups took part in the activities of the assembly. Those who participated included Color Guard, Steppers, Majorettes, Stu- dent Government, Pep Club, Silent Vibrations, and Cheerleaders. All assemblies are full of fun and special moments, but this one will long be remembered, especially for Janice Beghtol, who was crowned 78-79 Homecoming Queen by the 77-78 queen, Marilee Fors.
