Winds Blow Kearny a Crystal Queen Homecoming 1978 activities began with the coronation football game on October 20 with Kearny against Crawford. The festivities took place during the halftime break. There were two elec- tions, the first to narrow the number of people down, and the final election held one week before the game. With such a long wait, the finalists were un- der pressure. tEspecially the seniors be- cause they had an extra week of ag- ony.l The tension built as the girls were escorted onto the field while Teri McEfee, last year's queen, greeted them. Black clouds, strong winds, and threatening skies were present as Mr. Stoffer opened the envelope and whis- pered the new queen's name to Teri. Finally the waiting came to an end as the 1978 homecoming queen was crowned. The tears begin to flow as Crystal Flake realizes that Teri McEfee tlast year's queenj has just crowned her the 1978 Homecoming queen.

We've Got Spirit, Yes We Do Spirit Week, full of activities leading up to Homecoming, was held from Oc- tober 23rd through the 27th. A pie throwing contest, sponsored by the PABAS, got Spirit Week off to a fun start. Pies were auctioned off to stu- dents, who wanted the chance to cream members of our faculty and the football team. The Girls' League sponsored Blind Man's Obstacle course was next, with teams of contestants racing over tables, through spaghetti and ice, and around chairs, with one member of the team blindfolded. On Wednesday, the junior class sponsored a Spoon Pull where the ob- ject was to be the first team to thread all eight members together. An Ice Cream Eating-Big Wheel Marathon came next, followed by 50's Day and the homecoming pep-rally. Dean Ylagen prepares to take on one of Kearny's most spirited teachers, Mr. Owen.
