Preparation was evident as you viewed the half-time parade Preparation for Homecoming started 3 to 4 weeks ahead of time, as the clubs were busy deciding on and planning the types of floats to enter in the parade. Students worked tediously on the floats in hopes of creating the winning one. Not only did each club labor many hours, but Girl Reserves had to redo the skirt of their float when a cat entered Jo Fogel's garage and shredded the crepe paper Before the parade, for the second consecutive year Art Club was awarded first place, a $25 prize, for the most original and best constructed float oy Student Council. Honor Society and Language Club placed second and third, respectively. To enter a candidate in the queen contest each club must construct a float for the parade. There were sixteen girls competing for Homecoming Queen During half-time activities, Jeannie Essling was crowned queen for 1971. When Jeannie was asked how it felt to be Homecoming Queen she said, It's the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. I did not know that I had so many friends!

Auditions for the leads were held in June so the characters could learn their prospective songs In September the students to play the minor parts and be in the chorus were chosen. However, some difficulties were encountered when the director, Mr. Lampl, was notified about the higher cost of royalties for producing a musical. Therefore, the ticket price had to be raised to Si.75 and activity ticket . holders had to buy a ticket at the discount price of SI.25. Other minor mishaps occurred when a wrong backdrop was sent from New York and, also, one trunk of costumes did not come until the Saturday the play closed. In spite of these problems, Carousel was sold out Friday and Saturday nights and after every performance the cast was given a standing ovation for their outstanding performances in the Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical.
