A dream come true. One of the greatest honors attained during high school is reigning as Homecoming Queen. The road to election is a long and exciting one, beginning with the nomination of five candidates by senior Lettermen. Anxiety and hope prevailed for the candidates upon being informed of their nominations. As the week crept by, their thoughts turned to which one would be chosen by the student body. On the final night the band played Miss America while the candidates slowly circled the field. The awaited moment finally arrived. Debbi Lager ' s dream had been fulfilled. With tears of joy, she accepted the title of 1968 Homecoming Queen. Despite a 26—13 loss to Lowell, spirits were not dampened as students and alumni attended the annual dance following the game. Lending his Letterman ' s jacket to queen candidate Debbi Lager is Greg Mack, Debbi ' s escort for the evening. You ' re still my queen could be the words of Dennis Bonie as he talks to his girlfriend Joyce Vestal.
