SHARON AND CORY REIGN The crowning of King and Queen candidates is always the highlight of Homecoming activities. The four Queen candidates are chosen as week before the game by the entire school. King candidates are chosen by their fellow foot- ball players. A busy week of picture taking and practicing the ceremony. Half- time at game, the field is cleared, Queen candidates arrive in convertibles and are escorted on the field, where they are joined by King candidates. It was a cold 36° degrees and a fine drizzle was falling. Coach Demaree announces Mr. Footbal 1972-1973 is Cory Webster and the 1972-1973 Homecoming Queen is Sharon Ashley. Tears of joy are shed by Sharon as she’s crowned Queen by Lynda Kloth, Homecoming Queen last year. Sharon and Cory are joined by the traditional kiss. Together they will reign at the Homecoming Dance to follow Saturday night. A win at the Homecoming games always makes for a more en- joyable evening at the Homecoming Dance. Showing your spirit at the game and coming to the Homecoming dance combine to make a feeling of great self- realization. Mr. Football, Cory Webster, and Queen, Sharon Ashley are all smiles as they pose together for the first time as King and Queen of 1972-73. Homecoming candidates are Sandy Salerno, Cory Web- ster, Joe Draper, Teri Ledwinka, Stan Marovich, Barb Dunclau, Dale Brooks, and Sharon Ashley.
