Homecoming Being on court was really a good experience because I got to know people I really didn't know before and we really just had a lot of fun together. Sue Harmon (12) The look of complete surprise on Jim's face, the look of joy on Nicole’s face, the looks of pleasure and enjoyment on the entire court's faces, the look of bashful self-recognition on Jim Becker's face, the looks of complete delight and enjoyment on the faces of those cruising down the river, and the look of utter exhaustion and satisfaction on my husband's face proved to me that Homecoming 1974 captured the fun and enjoyment of the best times of our lives — those high school years.

Pete Engstrom(12) “I just kept worrying all through Homecoming if everything was going to go all right. When I got up on Saturday morning I didn’t think my idea about the dance on the boat was too hot. I heard the weatherman on the radio say it was supposed to snow.' Robb Peterson — General Chairman The pepfest was one of the best I've ever seen. I really enjoyed all the cuts, especially the ones aimed at some of my friends. Charlie Lick (12) After driving ninety miles an hour to get to Stillwater we missed the boat. We decided to go downtown to a movie. 1 felt dumb enough in a long dress, but then to top it off. I swear I could have started to cry when the opening scene of the movie was a boat.” Cindy Collins (11) The dance was great! All the girls in their long dresses and all the guys in their suits made it really a lot of fun. But you know there was this certain tie that caught my eye from across the room.
