 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

Qomething for everyone With a special emphasis placed on American music for the last choir concert of the Bicentennial year, the chorale, varsity, and concert choirs attempted to choose selections which everyone would enjoy. Carol Krystosek (II) commented that Kyrie.'' was the most complex number for the chorale. as the notes and precision were difficult to get right. Varsity choir, which performed five numbers in all. spent a large portion of their time working on Glory to God in the Highest, due to the intricate passages which had to be perfected. For concert choir. Kyrie. by Frank Martin, and Jubilate Deo Omnis Terra.” by Flor Peelers, were special numbers as both showed distinctly different styles of contemporary vocal literature. Treble singers and chamber singers also performed, and the concert ended with mass choir, which combined all three groups. Practice was required to coordinate the many voices, and the end result was a rendition of And the Glory of the Lord, from Handel’s Messiah.
