22 Events Homecoming Brings Bright Spot To Dim Season Homecoming is a time-honored tradition of Elston Senior High. This year, clubs and organizations chose their candidates, and the thirty girls were presented to the student body at a two-hour morning assemblyfpep session on October 18th. Students voted by homeroom sections, and cheers and relays passed the time while votes were being tallied. The five finalists, Iris Baumgartner, representing Office Messengers, Linda Brown, Student Council, Rosanne Espar, Band, Kay Rusboldt, Hall Monitors, and Laurie Shover, Science Club, were then announced, and each was asked an unrehearsed question by Principal Warren Jones. The final choice for the 1974-75 queen was not announced until halt-time exercises at the Homecoming game that night. Dennis Saffer, Senior Class President, acted as emcee, and last year's queen, Elaine Janasiak, announced the new Queen. The game was somewhat less than a decisive victory for the Devils, but spirits were high as Rosanne Espar was crowned by her predecessor and received a bouquet of flowers, along with congratulations, from Mr. Jones.

The subject of the play is povverg the black man's quest tor the authority to lead his people out ot the grips of tyrannical white bosses who make their fortune trom the hard labor of their black hands, said Miss Harrison. lt deals with the problem of man's inhumanity to man. The conclusion is that people who are thwarted by being kept ignorant, poor and oppressed come to fruition by being led out of their tear, complacence and self-doubt. Activities 21
