Ceremonies Honor Homecoming Royalty Varsity Cheerleaders Debbie Smith, Debbie Baker, and Sandy Rob- inson, followed by the rest of their squad, wave their pom- poms as they lead the team onto the field to start the game. Festivities for Manual ' s seventeenth Homecom- ing were staged during halftime of the Manual- Arlington game. The Redskin Marching Band came onto the field, forming an M as they played. The candidates arrived in open convertibles driven by lettermen and cir led the field on the track be- fore alighting to go to center field for the coro- nation. The girls wore colorful short formals, and ea( li carried a longstemmed white mum with a red M mounted on it and wit li red and white stream- ers. The boys had white carnations pinned to their lapels. Indian Papooses carried the crowns. Junior Tim Updike gave the sealed enevelope to Principal Wayne H. Kincaid, and after he announc- ed the new royalty, King Manual XVII, Mike Craf- ton, and his Queen, Vickie Steele, were crowned by last year ' s King and Queen, Don Norcross and Ruth- ie Smith. The Band played Miss America as Mike and Vicki walked down the traditional white carpet. Mr. Wendell Mertz, director of the choir, sang Queen of Manual High to that tune, and then sang Girl of My Dreams, accompanied by the Girls ' Glee Club. Many alumni returned for the game, and the fans wore mums in honor of Homecoming. The weather was pleasant, and the colorful festivities made it a thrilling evening. Opponent Arlington was uncoop- erative, however, as they downed the Redskins. Freshmen Football Players Joe Snyder and Ken Coulding roll out the white carpet for the Homecoming King and Queen candidates to travel to the center of the field for the coronation. Flanking the carpet are members of the Glee Club in red and white garb.
