4A TORNADO, Lamcsa, Texas, 1975 Students Involved in Homecomin The whole school was caught up in this year ' s Homecoming. Students met and began to gatlier wood for the bonfire, while Student Council planned a formal crowning of the yearly Homecoming Queen. As excitement built, every- one began to get dates and order mums. Elections for the Queen and Court were held. Nominees for Queen were Idelia Mcndez, Teresa Owens, and Cathy Bizzell. Court representatives were Greta Wilson, Judith Parsons, and Gina Estrada. Everyone devoted their time after school and on the weekends to make the pile of wood on the Rodeo grounds grow taller. The time to burn the large stack grew closer, and many boys spent the night by the as- semblage to guard it from the usual early burning. The Firebug caught everyone off guard and set fire to it. The firefighters were not able to save any of it. Students left school to try to rebuild ttic stack !)eforc nightfall, the time the bon- fire w s officially scheduled Ku r Kl ' to burn. After a long stren- uous day, everyone decided that the new pile of wood was larger than the first one. A pep rally was held by the edge of the fire, with every- one showing a lot of spirit and enthusiasm. Friday came and every mem- ber of the school was excited. A special pep rally was to be held in the audi- torium and formal crowning of of the unknown Queen. The Queen was to be determined by popular vote. The pep rally began, the football team trudged in, and Teresa Owens was crowned Homecoming Queen. The special presentation was ended with the fight song, and all left to prepare for the night ' s game. The evening turned out warm and perfect weather for foot- ball, although the Tornadoes lost to Dunbar. The dance followed with many former students returning and every- one enjoying the good times. Yet all that remains of the 1974-75 Homecoming is dried mums and the memories that we all carry in our hearts. i
