From Twenty To Six To One “Challenging New Horizons” was the theme chosen by Student Council for the eighth annual winter sports homecoming. Guest speaker at the all-school assem- bly held on Thursday, January 22, was Fred Sanders, class of ’84. The oldest alumnus present at the assembly was Mrs. Amy Rodriguez, representing the class of ’53; and the classes of ’63 and ’64 had the most alumni present. Twenty clubs, organizations, and classes chose attendants to represent their groups in the homecoming festivi- ties. Six finalists, chosen by the student body, were announced at the assembly. They included: Dianne Hartley, represen- tating the cheerleaders; Amy MacFar- lane, freshmen class; Mona Sanders, Cop- SP1RITED GUEST.

Prior to the basketball game with Ben- son on Friday, January 23, Mona Sanders was crowned homecoming sweetheart. “1 was surprised I won,’’ confessed Mona afterwards. “There were so many senior candidates I wasn’t sure 1 had a chance. I’m sure it was close.” The Homecoming festivities were a success in every way but one: the Wild- cats lost an overtime thriller to the Bob- cats, 74-71. “It was a great game, even though we lost,” commented basketball player, Steve Wene. “It was the first time all year that the crowd really showed a lot of enthusiasm and spirit.” “Since people see me as a ‘rowdy,’ 1 think 1 was the right choice to represent the Rowdies. Being one of the six finalists gave me a feeling of importance. It’s nice to know so many people voted for me.” — Shelly Bryant 14 Winter Sports Homecoming
