The former Royalty, Becky Pickworth and Bob Pacula, crowned Marsha Linden and Don Fick to reign as Queen and King for the school year of 1970-1971. First attendants were Dee Carritt and Don Simons. Laura Converse and Mike Erickson received second attendants. The dance took place in the school gym from 9:00 to 12:30. The gym was deco- rated with colors of brown, orange, yellow, red, and green with the falling leaves of autumn. The dance started with the Royalty dancing to the music of the Ancient Gallery . Every- one enjoyed the evening, leaving memories of an- other year come and gone.

Their impressive victories not only brought much happiness to the team and coaches, but also to Mead's fans. Their great season also reaped them other awards. The Raiders were rated No. 1 by the Lincoln Star and No. 3 by the Omaha World Herald. The Raiders, coached by J. Heller and D.

While the Mead Raiders were compiling a winning season the Mead Raiderettes were quietly com- piling a winning season of their own. The Raiderettes started the season off in a winning way when they captured the Waverly Tournament. Coach R. E. Haag's Raiderettes kept things in the winning way by chalking up victory after victory until they journeyed to Snyder where they picked up their only loss. The loss only gave the Raiderettes more incentive as they pulled out victories in their remaining games. The Raiderettes also captured their two remaining tournaments. The girls for the fifth straight year brought home first place in the E. C. N. C. tournament and for the first time in six tries the girls captured first place at the Peru State Invitational Tourney. The Raiderettes finished with a 22-1 record and hopes for next year with five returning lettermen. The girls will play a fall schedule next year. CONGRATULATIONS RAIDERETTES!!!
