Happiness Is Homecoming 1968 Senior and freshmen representatives await the crowning of the king and queen. “Happiness Is . . the theme of Ionia High School’s 1967 Homecoming was inaugurated in a blaze of glory as Ionia continued its winning streak by defeating Grand Ledge. Before the game. Queen Anne Kopchick and King Richard Gregory with their court paraded around the field. Members of the court were: seniors; Debbie Van-Houten and Jim Westbrook, juniors; Kris Johnson and Denny Kimble; sophomores; Debe Perrien and Brian McPherson, and freshmen; Diane Stebbins and Denny Bledsoe. Classes and clubs which entered floats in the parade, labored long and hard on their original creations. The first place winner was “Happiness is Licking the Comets,” the junior class entry. The senior class entry placed second with, “Happiness is Raiding the Comets.” After the game, at the dance, the royal couple passed through the honor guard and ascended their throne. They were crowned, according to tradition by Student Council president, Alice Montgomery and then officially started the dance by leading those in attendance into dance. Like Cinderella’s Ball, the Homecoming festivities ended at the magical stroke of Midnight. Dehe and Brian pass down the aisle. 10
