It was a long walk from the front of the dark- ened gym to the lighted stadium. Newly polished shoes became dusty and spike heels sank deep into the dirt. There was still a feeling of tenseness w ith the apprehension of falling just as I get on the platform. At 7:40 when their introduction began, faces came alive with smiles. After their introduction to the audience, they took their places in their reserved seats along the side of the field awaiting the presentation of the Court.

Homecoming Court 'X if ' ja: i . Maid-of-Honor MISS SHEILA ANN GREENE His pen moved hesitantly down the list of names-Mary, JoAnn, Sheila, Linda, and then with a self -esteemed determi- nation he made a heavy circle around his choice for home- coming queen. After each student had voted, the air was filled with anxiety. Who was it? I know! Wait and see if she isn't our queen! For almost a week the topic of conversation in the halls, at the lunch table, or on the buses was centered around the homecoming. No one really knew who the queen wouldbe except the sponsor who tallied the votes. Friday, October 18, the football stadium was filled with family, friends, and alumni anxiously awaiting the coronation. Senior Class Representative MISS JUDI ELAINE SHORT The court walked on the field to the melodious strains of A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody.
