Homecoming 1970! The tense, exciting game that ended in a very close win for Marshall: they were among the state ' s top ten, and the Federals held them at a scoreless tie for three quarters. The half-time show, only a little dampened by the drizzling rain: after the band and drill team had escorted the princesses and their floats around the field, the Homecoming court paraded down a drill team ' d corridor to assemble before the stands, and Ronnette Kerzaya was crowned Homecoming Queen of 1970. Ronnette ' s paper counterpart, the Soph¬ omore class ' witch, cackling over a bubbling cauldron, won the award for best float. How now, you secret, black, and midnight hag? The dance, at which Sun Country, one of the best bands Fort Hunt has ever had, played to a new-look crowd: the dress was mostly long skirts, something interesting for Fern Libbers to note. Now and then the dancers were treated to a sampling of Roofer Sam and the Del Boppers ' repertoire, like this ' 53 oldie-but- goodie: Chantilly lace and a pretty face and a ponytail hangin ' down; a wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk makes the world go round, round, round. 25
