Lono Edmondson crowned 1974-75 Homecoming Queen The 1974-75 homecoming court was presented on November 1, 1974, at the football game. This was the grand finale of a week of ac- tivities preparing for homecoming. Some of these activities were the 50's day, the mini parade, the pep rally, and the homecoming parade in Iacksonville. Lana Edmondson, a senior who is involved in cheerleading, FTA, and Drama Club at ll-IS, was crowned Queen before the game with the Russelville Cyclones. Her statement about being Queen was, You know how when you're a little girl and you dream about something like that but you know it will never happen? I felt like a little girl, and l just felt like I was dreaming. The game ended in a victory for the Red Devils. The week of ac- tivities was highlighted by the dance in the school cafeteria, which was decorated like Hades. Music was presented by Gibralter. 42-honors
