Frontier Week was the spring counterpart of Homecoming in the Fall. Eight coeds were nominated for Frontier Queen, two from each class. They were: Laura Lugar and Beki Stieglitz — Freshman class; Beverly Minor and Nesa Cramblett — Sophomore class; Anita Chasteen and Brenda Busing — Junior class; and Linda Russell and Lorna Ross — Senior class. Many contests and events were held throughout the week. Monday night was the hard-boiled egg eating contest. The arm wrestling contests were Tuesday. Raw eggs were tossed Wednesday night to see who could throw them the farthest. All the beards seen around campus, scraggly or neatly groomed, were judged by various criteria such as neatness or length on Friday night. A large number of alumni joined the crowd of students to watch the Saturday morning inter-society rope pull and the raft battles. 109

The Hootenanny was very successful with a variety of acts ranging from comic routines to vocal talent. Perhaps the greatest surprise was Wayne House with his impersonation of John Denver in ‘‘Thank God I'm A Country Boy.”’ He had spent weeks listening to John Denver records in an attempt to capture the style. He won first prize with his act. The Hootenanny was held in the Assembly Hall for the first time. The audience, dressed in country style, was seated on bales of hay. The theme of ‘‘The Final Frontier’ was a far-fetched attempt to relate the western theme to outer space. The theme used the setting of the TV show ‘Star Trek’’ with MC Phil Burks playing the part of Captain Kirk. The backdrop in center stage was covered with sketches of such well-known cowboys as John Wayne and Festus Hagen. Slipped into the middle were our own Dean Caneday and President LeTourneau, sporting 10 gallon hats and looking western. Brenda Busing was the student choice as Frontier Queen. 110 The winners of the Student Senate election were announced as Lee Beachy, Howard Eliason, Beki Stieglitz, and Alan Griffin.
