MHS float display accents football homecoming week Homecoming highlighted the 1970 football season with the theme “Pow-Wow for Power.” Preparations of floats based on this theme began November 2 and con- cluded November6. The floats in competition underwent judgment during the Home- coming Parade preceding the game. Judges awarded first place to the Math Honor Soci- ety float composed of two huge dice with the theme “KMHS Bets We Win.” Taking second place honors was the senior class fioat, while the sophomore class float ranked third. Following the parade, the Warrior football team was de- feated by a close margin of 6-0 against Bethel. Presenta- tion of the 1970 football queen and her court was the high- light of the half time cere- monies. Queen Ann Williams was attended by seniors Debbie Wagner and Danne Deaux. Ju- nior attendants, Terry Hale and Sherry Coleman, were presented before the crown- ing of the queen. Principal Harry B. Dyche, Jr. presented the queen with a silver bowl and roses. Concluding the week of festivities, the Homecoming Dance was held on Novem- ber 7, in the cafeteria. The queen and her court, along with students and alumni, danced to the “Liberation.” Creating a decoration, Sharon Hall works on the Senior Class float. Promenading onto the football field, Cynthia Miller is escorted by Herbert Manley during half time ceremonies at the Bethel game. 22 — Special Events

Teachers and staff display talents during annual show Epitomizing famed stars of today and yesteryear, the fac- ulty displayed their talents in the third annual production of Faculty Frolics which pre- miered November 20. Radio commentator, Dick Lamb, was the emcee. Comic adlibs from Dean Martin, played by Mr. Buddy Denton, and dance numbers by the Golddiggers aided in the show’s transition. Mr. Tom Miller, portraying Richard Burton, delivered a dramatic rendition from “The Magic Christian,” echoing those immortal words “To be or not to be.” Localizing the perfor- mances, the Gosnold Hope Park Tramps, Mrs. Joel Grimm and Mrs. AleaseGant, enacted a buddy routine. Waving their farewell to the audience, the faculty strutted from the stage in final song and dance. Flocked by Golddiggers, Mr. Buddy Denton, characterizing Dean Mar- tin, rehearses for Faculty Frolics with drink and cigarette in hand. Vocalizing faculty talents, Mrs. Ju- dith McPherson as Phyllis Diller, Mrs. Mildred Insley as Twiggy and Miss Dorothy Farinholt as Shirley Temple perform at the third annual premiere of Faculty Frolics. 24 — Special Events
