' . i ' 6 ' ' I- r ?; ' ' ■ r ■ y ' ' -S- r ' n aider fans from campus and community, as well as a long rv Ime of returning alumni, followed a colorful barrage of posf- parade floats, each winding carefully up the precipitous road which tops the Enchanted Mesa. Saturday, Oct 9 began in sunshme; autumn was king. By 9:30 that ' morning, students and townspeople alike had reserved a few square inches of standing space along Main Avenue to view Fort Lewis ' largest and most successful homecoming parade by far. More than 25 entries comprised the train which followed the Westerners ' Club color guard between two aisles of merry makers. Queen Cindv Wigton, accompanied by her attendants, Kathy Sullivan and Storme Anderson, led competitors in the best float race while judges gave consideration to each entry ' s enterpretation of the homecoming theme: Raiders ' a go-go! Anxious to cop the Autumn Cup. nearly every active organization on campus was represented m the pied parade of color.

Student Body President Martin Sollars purposely pro- longs the building anticipation which was portioned out among eight queen candidates earlier in the week when they were inform-ed of their selection to the race for a crown. Fumbling with the envelope containing the winner ' s name, Martin Sollars finally made the announcement; Queen Cindy Wigton, overcome with the light- ning shock that comes between belief and dis- belief, did not really hear the applause which signalled student body approval. Head football coach, Lou Cullen, tantalizmg further, held the tiara before the queen who eyed it with loving desire. Then, in a moment of sheer ecstasy for Cindy, Coach Cullen placed the crown; he was aided by attendant Kathy Sullivan. The queen stepped forward to thank everyone for the once- m-a-lifetime experience. At bottom, left, .Joe Martinez burns the midnight oil finishing a float. At right.
