The big day was Friday, October 17. School dismissed at 1:30 for Coronation. Master of Ceremonies Andy Hays introduced Miss Beckfield, who sang Old Devil Moon . Then, to a drum roll, he announced the queen and her court. A surprised Becky Bintner reigned as queen, with her court of Princess Cyndi Petersen, Countess Jan Crees, Duchess Darla Schlater, and Lady of the Court Barb Madsen. School was then released for the parade and the pep rally in City Park. Friday evening was a time of excitement, pain, pride, disappointment, and lots of fun. At halftime, the band and drill team put on an excellent show, and the queen and court were introduced to the crowd. Prizes for the car and window competitions were announced, with the Senior class sweeping the honors. They received 1st place for their car We're going to Bust Glidden, and their window Spirit of '76 Declares a Victory . The only damper to the evening was the loss to Glid- den, 22-42, which ended our six-game winning streak. After the game, the dance was held, with Forte pro- viding the music. The end of the dance at 12:30 brought to an end the excitement of A Space Oddysey .

NEW UNIFORMS Being a member of band brought about some of the usual events that take place and also gave us some new experiences, like being weighed and measured for the new uniforms, standing up for crossing your legs while playing, staying in for chewing gum, having a friendly letter exchange with the school paper, and having a drill team. There were also the times we were giving the director a personnal critique, marching on the frost covered ground, having fun on the return trip from Adventure Land, recei- ving a II at large group contest, getting the wall painted in the band room, and finally, ordering the new uniforms. Oh, but let's not forget the annual breakfast when someone came two hours late, the water fight, the human barbecue, Lisa's waffle batter that you could cut with a knife, and the flat tire.
