Homecoming Queen and Mr. Homecoming is probably one of the most exciting times of spirit week. With Mrs. Sue Roller ' s careful planning and enthusiasm, homecoming was a great success. On the evening of Dec. 3, be- tween the junior varsity and varsity games, candidates for Queen, Mr. Bas- ketball and the Queen ' s Court members were introduced. After the introductions, made by Dave Rumas and Steve Slivka, the 1978 Homecoming Queen, Miss Jenny Lee Casten, was named; but the suspense did not end there. Mr. Basket- ball had yet to be announced. That crowning was done at the dance follow- ing the games. Candidates were: Dale Gurgel, Mike Magnant, Roger Steuer and Mike Williams. The former Mr. Basket- ball, Chuck Shropshire, did the honors, crowning Dale Gurgel as Mr. Basketball of 1978. Former Queen Lori Frazee crowns Queen )enny Casten, while their escorts, Tim Koedyker and Mike Cross, stand by.

The pageant began at 8 p.m. in Hanover Central ' s auditorium. There were five girls from Hanover competing for this honor: Sue Tomeszewski, Jeannine Tor- torici, Ellyn Heckaman, Darcy Dodge and Linda Noel. Three of the girls in the pageant re- ceived $25 savings bonds and awards for special achievements. Linda Noel was honored for the Spirit of Junior Miss, Darcy Dodge was recognized as Most Talented Contestant, and Ellyn Heck- aman received the Scholastic Award. Finally, the big moment arrived: First runner up for Junior Miss 1978 is . . . Sue Tomeszewski, and Junior Miss for 1978 is . . . Jeannine Tortorici. Jeannine went to the state contest, which was held in Frankfort. There she competed with girls from other parts of Indiana to see who would be the one to represent Indiana in the Miss U.S.A. Pageant. Jeannine said that, Being Junior Miss is a great experience. I encourage every senior girl to think about entering the Ju- nior Miss Pageant. 14 Jr. Miss
