Coronation, pep rally, ball game add life to Homecoming weekend I thought I would burst with excite- ment before Cindy Whitaker, Janell Almquist, Sheryl Chandler, Becky Grammer, and Debbie Roberts made their way down the aisle in Wood-Mar Auditorium to take their places on the stage. They all looked so pretty! Which one would become the 1978-79 Homecoming Queen? Everyone waited tensely for Shelley Webster, last year ' s queen, to place the crown on her successor. It seemed like it was just minutes later that we were relaxing to the music of Istvan Nada ' s with junior princess Janell Almquist bearing the crown and the title. Saturday started off with a bang as we watched the 1970-74 basketball alumni play the 1975-78 team. What a thriller! Afterwards the cheerleaders held a pep rally for the 1978-79 basketball team. It included Gregg Griffin running off with the Mr. Cool title by keeping his feet in buckets of ice longer than Gary Chenault could. Meanwhile, the •rest of the team vied for victory in relay races by riding tricycles built for four- year- olds. At the basketball game that night, Janell exhorted us to trust in Christ to give us a sense of direction and power to face the obstacles and challenges of ■our lives. She encouraged us to say ' yes ' to Christ, ' y es ' to Me, ar d be all we were meant to be through Him. Janell, the alumni, and the rest of us then cheered the basketball team on to a 78-76 victory over Warner Pacific, winning in the last few seconds by Phil Barnhart ' s twenty-foot shot.
