Homecoming Homecoming reached its highest point when Carol Truckenmiller and David Koster were crowned king and queen. The coronation is held proceeded by a snake dance, and bonfire but due to the weather a pepfest was held in the gym. The height of student participation was reached as the classes took over contributing floats and selecting queen candidates. The king candidates were selected from the Letterman's Club. The pa ade and snake dance were held on Friday with the Senior class win- ning first prize on their float. And the final climax of homecoming was the dance held in the gym with the Letterman's Club as hosts and decorations by the cheerleaders. Carol and David reigned over the festivity. Coach, team, pep, steam----and what pep these four girls have. It the bas- ketball and football games these four girls were out cheering our team to vic- tory even if they suffered from hoarse throats, sprained ankles and bruises. Our four 'A' team cheerleaders are Marlys Rochel, Joyce Determan, Carol Truckenmiller and Mavis Klitkze. All the girls that wanted to go out for cheerleading tried our in groups in front of the student body. Each group gave two cheers and each girl gave one individually. They were than voted on by the student body and the top four se- lected were 'I' team cheerleaders. Cheerleaders
