10 Bluebird rocks Homecoming ’82 Homecoming this year was just that-a coming home of past gradu- ates, but on a much larger scale than usual. Graduates from as far back as 1914 and as far away as Alaska returned for the “Gathering of Eagles,” a reunion of approxi- mately 1500 former graduates. The festivities started with the crowning ceremony Friday after- noon. Seniors Monte Miller and Sta- cie Brown served as emcees for the ceremony, calming the nerves of the candidates and amusing the au- dience by cracking jokes about each of the candidates. Chosen by the football team, King Jay Ingalls crowned Patty Harrington, who was chosen queen by the student body. To close the ceremony, Senior Darrell Seitz sang the theme song “Up Where We Belong,” and the cheerleaders led the audience in the school before going downtown for a city-wide pep assembly. THE ROYAL COUPLE. Patty Harrington and Jay Ingalls were elected as the 1982-83 queen and king. After the football team defeated Kinsley, students returned to the gym and danced to the music of Blue Bird. Open Arms by Journey was dedicated to the couple.
