In un courtly fashion It all started on a very gauche and cold Wednesday morning for the twenty senior guys and girls on the Homecoming court. One by one they were startled out of their slumbers until the whole group had been gathered. Elegant was not the word tq best describe the hectic morning. Mary Weiss was dragged out minus her contacts and had to be led around in the pre-dawn dark. Dan Bishop managed to get part of his bedpost caught in his shirt but he deftly tossed it in his front yard and scurried off with the rest of the bunch. Monday of Homecoming week marked the real beginning of the festivities for the court. Activities included a Quiche-Lorraine breakfast at Amy Peterson s, a lasagna dinner at Gigi Dekko’s, a dinner at Johnny Youngblood s. a brunch featuring green eggs at Wint Boyd's, and a night out on the town at the Edgewater Inn. And then came coronation. For a while it appeared that coronation would start before Brad Stone would arrive. Luckily he showed up on time, and his escort. Amy Peterson, was spared from heart failure. When Tim Smith was chosen King he had one major concern: I was really afraid of getting mixed up when I read the card with the Queen s name on it. I was afraid I’d kiss the wrong one! Each person on the court had the opportunity to leHoose for a week. Lori Culbert said. The Homecoming committee really put in plenty of time and effort to give us a super week. Those necklaces for the girls and the key-chains for the boys that they gave us as a remembrance of Homecoming were awfully nice. Looking back, the court really had a memorable week and was grateful for it. 18 HOMECOMING COURT

Everybody out of the sack As usual, the grunts and groans seemed just a little bit louder on the morning of the first day of school. August 30. 1976. After all, it had been a long time since most students had had to rise at 6:30 or 7:00 a.m. to wash and get ready for school. Everything was in confusion because everyone was trying to greet old friends and catch up on the latest news, and work seemed beside the point. There was also the problem of schedules and trying to find out which of the four C-215's you had class in. especially since none of the teachers were around during break to help you out. They were too busy in the lounge trying to recover from the sudden realization that. yes. school had once again begun. The summer of 1976. our Bicentennial summer, was a summer of much diversity. For some it was a time to buckle down and earn some money, either for college or just for social activities. For others. it was a summer of travel. Although hesitant because of extremely dry weather and numerous fire bans, many families headed north to cabins. Youth groups went west to Colorado and mission trips to Mississippi and North Dakota, while a number of students headed East to celebrate the Bicentennial. Some students who stayed home got jobs working with children, which were more fun than money making. As August rolled around, it became time to start grinding the wheels in preparation for 1976-77. Inside, everyone realized that the fun had to end and work must begin. So. they came to school that first day. August 30. 1976. many complaining that even that was too early and opened the doors of Edina-West. The new year had begun as well as could be expected and before long everything was in full swing. 17
