Candidates Andrea Danek, Donna Russell and Cheryl Ayer dance with their escorts as the Harvest Moon Ball gets oft to a good start. Tensely awaiting the big moment . . . Homecoming 1965 marked the be- ginning of a new spirit at Valley College, a spirit that seems to have a forward motion, a spirit that lives with the progress of the col- lege. As the college grows, so grows the spirit. This forward motion spirit stood out at the Homecoming As- sembly, where the queen candidates were introduced. It was at the polls, where voting for the queen took place. It was at the Harvest Moon Ball. Most of all, it was still pres- ent after the Homecoming Game, in which the Valley grid squad battled the Bakersiield eleven in a hard- fought loss. The new Valley spirit actually showed signs of strength the Thurs- day before Homecoming Week be- gan.

After campaigning and more pic- tures on Friday and Monday, each of the beauties appeared before the stu- dent body at the 11 a.m. assembly on Tuesday. With the Men's Gym filled to near capacity, Colleen Fer- guson, commissioner of student ac- tivities, directed the program. Pressure began to build as the 11:50 bell rang, and the gym started to empty. Voting would begin in just 10 minutes. In less than 40 hours the voting was over, and the ballots were counted. Tension was the secret word for the 14 contestants during the next two days. , :nal ,1 11111114111 ,L 31-uinnqiu
