 ctober 5, 1979...halftime, Monterey vs. Hobbs...fireworks burst and Happy 25th lit up Chapman Field...the marching band strutted out, beaming their musical light show...then...thirteen antique Thunderbirds cruised into the stadium bearing thirteen gorgeous queen nominees. Yes, homecoming '79 was a Big Event . The silver anniversary celebration began earlier that morning as tables lined the halls, filled with nostalgia from the past twenty-five years. A bright sunny morning set a fired- up scene for the outdoor pep rally held on the football field. Band members provided the decorations, musical entertainment and stupendous football field-shaped cake. Student council officers took time to honor teachers. Miss Nell Marie Wiley and Mr. Thomas (Cotton) Neely, for twenty-five years of dedication; former principals, Mr. Floyd Honey and Mr. B.J. Randles; and principals, Mr. Jerrell Snodgrass, Mr. Doyle Gammill, and Mr. Henry Zorns. To wrap up the Morning's events, exes made their way to the reception held in the Homemaking livingroom. For the evening's entertainment the big game against Hobbs focused on a single moment-—the crowning of the '79 homecoming queen. The overwhelming crowd held their breaths, as the thirteen nominees, escorted by their fathers, nervously awaited for the announcement. A cheer went up for head cheerleader, Kim Wallace, as she accepted the well-deserved crown and a dozen roses from last year's queen, Cathy Gaschen. As the evening came to an end, Plainsmen headed for the dance to celebrate the big event and the big victory over Hobbs, 49-0. 1979-30 Homecoming Court: Bottom Row: Kelli Crow, Kim Wallace, Annette Morris, Camille Scioli, Janet Mcars, Natalie Pyatt, Barbara Ragus, Shelly Dunn, Sherrie Alexander.

'Twas a day in December, and all through the halls. Plainsmen were bustling, preparing a ball. The gifts were all wrapped. The food was collected. To grade school they journeyed, for love unexpected. As The food was divided, and the party began, there was no trace of sadness as each found a new friend. The kids were all smiling, though we had to depart, for Christmas had touched, each and every child's heart. This poem could express the feelings of the 219 Monterey students who provided Christmas parties for kindergarten through third graders at Bozeman, Harwell, and Tubbs elementary schools. These students collected money gifts and food from their homerooms to provide a Christmas party for 867 children. The parties put a drop of sunshine into the Christmas of the grateful little children. Another Christmas project many homerooms took part in was working with the Goodfellows organization to furnish dinners for needy families. 22 Hangin' around
