Royalty of Hearts Reign over Homecoming ' 69 It ' s the only thing that happens to liven the dullness of winter. Everybody is excited — with teachers forgetting homework and all. There ' s a pep session that would wake the dead— not only in spirit, but through noise as well! The evening begins, the game, the crowning of the queen, the soc hop, the king,— all are memories. And then it ' s over. Maybe it wasn ' t all we ' d expected— we ' re left a little bit sad and a bit happy. Its a funny feeling. A homecoming feeling, that becomes a memory. Basketball homecoming Queen Kathy Woods was crowned during the halftime by senior class president Bill Townsend. Smiling seniors Kathy Woods and Wally Olin reigned as King and Queen of Hearts during the Valentine ' s Day fanfare.

Given the chance to elect representatives, underclassmen experienced voting at the polls on Nov. 5th. Confusion domi- nated the scene and explanations were necessary. Seniors Kathy Kirkham and Sylvia Macaluso attempt to show freshman Jeff Sexton different ways of marking his ballot while fellow- Nat Millie Moore hopes that this selection is for her party. Federalists Becky Schumacher and Mike Parish stand by to make sure that no pressure is placed upon the voter. Politics Produces Champions with Know-How Seniors followed through almost two months of campaigning fo r election of representatives to attend the Purdue Legislature. Primary tasks began in individual government classes and even- tually evolved into posters and slogans seen by all. Competition between the Feds and Nats provided a mood of anticipation for F.C. Flashes. Convention chairman, Becky Schumacher, presides over the Federalist convention while Vickie Crawford performs the many duties of a convention clerk. The Federalist party, through a hard fought campaign, went on to win the election. Anticipation and anxiety mark Doug Crago ' s face during one of the convention recesses. Doug was a candidate for senator of the Federalist convention, but he was defeated by Jim Tandy after four ballots.
