Below: The winning sophomore banner proclaims the 1977 theme Bears Make Tracks in De-Feet of the Lions. V j wojs. K icking off a new, successful Homecoming week, Junior escorts picked out surprised princesses Tina Winbolt, Nancy Rogers, Teresa Charbonnier, Corinne Winkler, Judi Peirce, and Kathy Allision from the audience at a special assembly on Monday. Throughout the week sophomores, juniors, and seniors scurried to make banners which illustrated the 1977 theme, Grizzlies Make Tracks in De-Feet of the Lions. The sophomores won the banner competition at Friday’s pep assembly. The enthusiastic crowd twice came to their feet — first, as Princess Corinne was crowned 1977 Homecoming Queen and then as she knighted team captains John Heiser, Randy Wall, and Bill Dale. Players and fans joined ranks after the assembly to follow the Queen and her court in a traditional noise parade through McMinnville, to the surprise of the downtowners. Jim Cushing introduced the Queen and her court at the U.S. National Bank mall at twelve o’clock. Later, spirits rose as fans burned an effigy of a lion in a cage at the bonfire. The Grizzlies made even more noise when their team “de feeted” the St. Helen’s Lions 16 0. The victory was celebrated at the Homecoming dance. The following Monday, Principal Tom Chapman congratulated all students, as well as the team, for a “super job.’’ 78 11
