Tears of and excitement characterized Debbie Lamb as she began her reign as Jefferson's Homecoming queen. Tradi- tion was shattered during the Homecoming festivities when Bev Stary, last yeer's queen, had the honor of crowning Queen Debbie. In previous years, the queen had been crowned by the Stu- dent Council president. However, this year's president, David Gaskill, was also a member of the J-Hawk football team and was unable to leave the locker room during the half time ceremonies. A fitting setting for the Homecom- ing crowning was a convincing J-Hawk victory over the Bettendorf Bulldogs, 34-14, and the theme You've Got A Friend enhanced the mood of the evening. A U'-,M f .

Controversy, cries, and complaints dimmed the Homecoming spirit as the student body divided on the event. More than ever, negative connotations were associated with the traditional event, indicating some disapproval on the student body's part. Much ado resulted when senior Shelly Benford's provoking editorial appeared in the Jefferson Outlook. Shelly felt that, Students should come to realize that the only class in Homecoming was in the Corvettes and the only beauty in the roses. This year's festivities were planned and sponsored by Stu- dent Council, under the direction of Homecom- ing committee chairman Janet Scott. The cafeteria was decorated with crepe paper, posters, and balloons. Entertainment was provid- ed by WiIdwood.
