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

Good Vibrations Shaving cream, jello. and eggs dominated the Powderpuff football game as the senior womens' varsity took on the junior girls varsity. In spite of these obstacles, the seniors came away with a 14-0 win: but both the win and the future of this event remained in question. Things were a bit more elegant, and daylight hours did not dampen the spirits or anticipation of students as they watched the climatic moment when King Tim Smith and Queen Suzy Keeler were crowned. On Friday night the floats stole the show. Withstanding high winds the night of the Homecoming football game, the Latin float came in with first place. The float's theme. Distribute the Flyers was typical of Latin creativity. Enthusiasm mounted as the German float neared completion. It was the first time in four years the club drummed up enough interest to make a float, which came in second. The float was built in Ellen Marburg's (12) garage with the theme Ground the Flyers. Dressing up. going out to dinner. and attending the dance finished the week on a high note. Steak and Ale. King’s Inn, and Charlie s were just a few of the popular dining spots. Then, on to the dance where Saturday in the Park was the theme. The couple of the night was Guy Messenger (12) and his dog Hanna. Hanna was among the nicely dressed, with both leash and corsage catching the ooh$ and ahhs of all the guys. The band. Masquerade, added its special touch by playing music ranging from hard rock to slow blues. 20 HOMECOMING ACTIVITIES
