,1., H 0'Tfef?9f111,!?9- Sun, Smiles, Spirit Reign Despite a week of discouraging rain, harried, yet enthusiastic preparations went ahead full force in readiness for a Laker Safari . The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Return of the Hunter, and Lakers Take Big Game were the class themes that led to fierce competition. When it was all over, the Seniors emerged with the awards for best bulletin 'board and sign, and the Junior and Sophomore classes split the honors for the best float. Homecoming officially began Mon- day as Master of Ceremonies Tom Newton announced the court. The selection of an unexpected additional senior princess postponed the traditional morning as- sembly to afternoon, allowing time for a frantic search for another crown and escort. School adjourned early Thursday to allow agressive Lakers a chance to release their frustrations on a car symbol- izing St. Helens. Friday, under surpris- ingly sunny skies, the student body cele- brated the crowning of Queen Jan Kleinke with a spirited parade through Lake Oswego. Welcoming alumni, the student body, and a doomed St. Helens, the annual bonfire quickly demolished the signs that were provided by English class- es. Cheered on by an over-capacity crowd, the varsity football squad romped over the visiting Lions 34-0. Later, elated Lakers headed for the after-game dance and a final celebration.
