Court greeted by icy weather Fans were anxiously waiting for the decision of who was to be the 1975 Homecoming queen, as the Cor- vettes rolled around the football field. In freezing temperatures, dresses swaying in the wind, the Homecoming court stepped onto the field. The announcement finally came: Cindie Sharkey was selected as the 1975 Homecoming queen! The coronation was the highlight of Spirit Week. Because of the large turnout of girls going out for Homecoming attendants, one primary election, in which five girls were selected, took place prior to the final election. Due to a balloting error, seniors had to vote twice for five candidates for Homecoming queen. The outcome of the elections showed that Cheri Young, Lindi Harrison, and Cindy Nickles were selected as underclassmen attendants and Kathy Donahue, Dawn Finch, Jill Kleinert, Dianna Vickery and queen Cindie Sharkey were selected as senior candidates. 16
