Homecoming began with the announcement of the 26 semifinalists--yes, that's right, 26 instead of the usual 25, since there was a tie between two girls. Later that same week, thejuniors and seniors voted for nine finalists who were announced to the impatient crowd by Student Council President Ron Hoff- man. Selecting the queen was done differently to avoid the traditional campaign week of worry- ing what to wear, who to talk to, and what to say. At the end of the nine finalist assembly, votes were cast for the queen after impromptu speeches were made. Students had mixed reac- tions about this new procedure. Senior Gayle Mead Iiked it better. The girls were fresh in my mind, and Gail Rank felt it was more effective. The nine finalists were also in favor of the new voting procedure, because we didn't have peo- ple saying we were trying to get votes just because we said hi to them, stated candidate Sue Hansen. wr Q Anxious to begin the second half of play, the varsity football team charges through the traditional hoop. Beth Bruce wades through the senior section to take her place as one of the 26 candidates. 1 2 Homecoming

During halftime, the nine finalists were driven around the track at Kingston Stadium in Corvettes. A minor alphabetical mistake provided amusement for the fans when Karen Kisch was announced as Kristie Lester, and vice versa as they neared the Jeff side of the stadium. Anticipation mounted as Joe Podzimek, Student Council vice president, prepared to an- nounce the nineteenth queen. Cheerleaders shot into the air as Kristie Lester was crowned by former queen Debbie Lamb. Awaiting halftime activities, contender Sue Hansen becomes wrapped up in the intense action on the gridiron.
