What was the most sacred and private place for high school students? Their bedroom, a place to escape from parents, yelling siblings, or just to sit back and listen to the stereo. For some students it was a place to take pride ing they decorated with their favorite furniture and accessories. Just looking at a bedroom revealed a person's personality. Decorating a bedroom in a certain style can express the occupant's thoughts and ideas. Karen Haycock, a sophomore, describes her room as modern, it definitely reflects my personality. A bedroom was also a place that caused friction with parents because of the condition the room was kept in. No matter how hard students tried to keep it clean it was never good enough. Jayson Newman, a senior, said to me, my room is just a place to sleep and listen to Led Zeppelin. Kristan Mackey Senior At Work.

Hugs and Kisses. During halftime ceremonies at Homecoming, senior Kelly Wease graciously accepts the congratulations of fellow Homecoming Court Representatives as she has just been named Homecoming Queen. EMINISCENCE 1969 was a year of new beginnings! On July 20th, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, August fifteenth through the seventeenth saw three days of peace and music at Woodstock, Nixon was presiding in the White House, and mothers were giving birth to our present senior class. Indeed historic events were in the making. Seventeen years later young couples paid tribute to this memorable era with their Homecoming theme, Summer of '69. The evening was a reminder of the golden past. The music and styles of the 60's prevailed. Selections from the Beatles, the Monkees, and the Beach Boys filled the air while dancing couples showed off their 60's fashions. It was a spectacular to behold, guys with their long hair and the girls in their bright col- ored, tea length dresses. This was homecoming, a time to meet new people and greet old faces. Anticipation grew as the evening drew near. The student body had cast their votes for Homecoming Queen and the football team prepared for a big win over Fort Defiance. 14 Homecoming!Page Editor: C. Bilbrey As the football game began Friday night it was evident that the homeroom pep rally had indeed encouraged school spirit. The stands were packed, not only with students, but also with parents and alumni. Not only was the football team well ahead and continually gaining momentum but also the Homecoming Court, consisting of representatives from each class, had taken their places on the field. The crowd grew silent, waiting impa- tiently for the introductions of the court and queen. The moment arrived and Miss Kelly Wease was crowned as Homecoming Queen. Her duty would begin the following night when she would lead the procession through the gym prior to the dance. The evening of Saturday, October 18th was a night not only to dance and socialize but also to think of the end of a great decade and the Summer of '69. It was a great weekend, the highlight of my senior year, said this year's Homecoming Queen, Miss Kelly Wease. Christy Bilbrey Sweet Evening.
