THE SPIRIT GOES ON “HAWKS FALL FAST, RAIDERS WILL LAST , was the 1979 theme for the football Homecom- ing. As usual there are many creative floats this year. All of them include dedication and deter- mination to be the 1 float. Queen candidates were chosen to represent each class. From Senior to Freshman the candi- dates and escorts were: RHONDA DAY MIKE McAULIFFE SHIELA GRUELL JOHN VASQUEZ CHANY DOKKEN RICK RIEGER MARDIECE MATHEWS TIM EAKINS The crown for the 1979 Football Homecom- ing Queen went to Senior, Rhonda Day. CON- GRATULATIONS! A chili feed, sponsered by the Faculty, was held in the Lost River Forum from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. The Homecoming dance, put on by the Sen- iors, was also a success. The evening was a hit thanks to the music of Intrafee. The La Pine Hawks proved to be stiff compe- tition for the Raiders as the final score was 38-0, Raiders favor.

43 YEARS OF TRADITION Over 2,500 people attended the 43rd annual Klamath Basin Potato Festival parade held in the streets of Merrill. Some of the events included the Linkville Lopers' Five-mile run, the traditional parade which involved almost everybody as partici- pants or just spectators, the delicious barbecue sponsored by the Merrill Lions Club, and of course the annual Spud Bowl. Sally Taylor, a Mighty Senior , was crowned the 1979 Potato Festival Queen. Selling almost double her quota of tickets to the Queen's Ball, Sally received many well-deserved gifts Sally also makes the second consecutive Potato Fes- tival Queen chosen from Lost River. A tradition may well be in process! 1. Mow em’ down RAIDERS! 2. The community gathers 'round. 3. LRHS Pep Band in action! page 13 1. Queen Sally and her princesses. 2.
