Memories of the Mardi Gras- Mardi Gras, a joyous, festive celebration in New Orleans, was the theme of Galesburg Senior High's 1970 Home- coming. The excitement began with the planning and building of the class floats and the decorations for the assembly and dance. Great anticipation and enthusiasm were displayed as everyone worked towards completion of their tasks. The real celebration began on Thursday afternoon with the King and Queen's coro- nation and the presentation of the court. This year Sylvia Trimble and Rick Main reigned over the festivities with Amy Gamble as Junior Attendant and Karen Martin, Sophomore Attendant. That night a large crowd gathered on Main Street to view the Mardi Gras parade as it proceeded towards Van Dyke Field. There students congregated for the traditional bonfire, snake dance and the burning of a 1 ls? Junior Attendent Amy Gamble and her escort, Bob Baker Quincy Blue Devil. The floats were judged and the winners announced. The Seniors took first place with the theme Streaks Reign Supreme and the Juniors came in second. Friday night brought the football game with Quincy. G.H.S. was defeated '7-0 in the final minutes of play. All things must come to an end no matter how wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable they are. Galesburg brought its weekend to a close with the Mardi Gras dance. The decorations of a large dragon and a model of an old New Orleans street added to the atmosphere of the dance. The couples danced to the music of the Next to None, a rock blues band. Intermission entertainment was provided by Tori Haring on her guitar. The memories of this festive occasion are beautiful ones of an- other very successful G.H.S. Homecoming. Sophomore Attendant Karen Martin and her escort, Kit Wilcox
