After exciting weeks of planning, voting, and waiting, the nine finalists were finally announced in the traditional Homecoming assembly which was held Monday, October 5. The anxious crowd awaited as Stu- dent Council President AI Steinbach announced each finalist's name. Screams and tears of excite- ment rang out as each girl heard her name an- nounced. The entire student body then voted for the 1975 queen. Despite the loss of the football game, the Homecoming dance, sporting the theme of Just You and Me , made most student's Homecoming an event to remember.
