Exira Over O-M Later that afternoon the queen coronation was held with everyone waiting for the results. They were: Sue Hill was queen, Janelle Wolf was princess, Beth Hackwell was countess, Teresa Wheeler was duchess, and Pamela Cog- Ion was lady of the court. The parade uptown was after this. Then everyone went up to the peprally uptown at the park. This concluded the afternoon's activities. At 7:30 the game everyone was waiting for finally arrived, the football game against Orient-Macksburg. The Vikings gave it all they had and won. This great win really got the students excited. They looked forward to the dance later on. The band was Rose and they played from 9:00 until 12:30. By the end of the dance everyone was ready to go home and most of them would remember it for quite a while. The majority of the kids really enjoyed the whole week. The dance was open to many different views by the EHS students. Anne Taylor said, 1 didn't care for the band and I had never heard of them before. Joy Clemsen, Beth Hackwell, and Sheri Dennis thought they were really good and played great songs. 1 K AND J FEED AND SEED

The twenty-four science fair projects that were picked February 14 to go to the conference science fair traveled to Orient on March 4 to compete in the Roll- ing Hills conference science fair. Projects at Exira were organized at noon and by 12:15 everything was loaded onto the school van and participants sitting in the bus driven by Mr. Best. Ms. Countryman drove the van along with Mr. Huber who went along to help judge in the preliminaries. After an hour drive, each person or group took their projects into the O-M building and set up at places where their names were marked. Judging started at 2:00 so there was planty of time to get prepared. There were seven classes or divisions among the projects: high school biology, h.s. physics, h.s. chemis- try, ninth grade life science, ninth grade physical sci- ence, 7-8th grade life science and 7-8 grade physical science. Projects were judged by three preliminary judges including Mr. Best and Mr. Huber. The preliminary judges could not judge their own school's projects. More or less, those with red or blue ribbons would compete in the finals. Those projects that were judged in the finals were judged only once by someone out- side the conference. Medals were awarded for 1st and 2nd places in each division.
