Tie occurs, 7 girls comprise homecoming court Overshadowing all activities was the choosing of the 1973-1974 home¬ coming queen. Two nominees were selected from every senior homeroom. This brought the number of candi¬ dates to 36. With qualifications for eligibility including at least a 2.5 grade average and no D’s or F’s in effort or conduct during the junior year, this narrowed the field of final¬ ist. The whole school, except for the freshmen, voted. Tallying up votes revealed a close count, thus changing the already-planned court of six girls to seven queen candidates. Concentrating on daily routines proved difficult for these girls as friends occasionally stopped and wished them the best of luck. Selecting gowns, escorts and choos¬ ing the music which presented the girls to the student body at the assem¬ bly kept them in a frenzy. For most of the nominees it seemed forever until homecoming came around. Finding themselves in a state of sheer nervousness, the girls pulled curlers out of their hair and made final touches to their makeup. As parade time came the candidates and their escorts were chauffered in convertibles in the annual homecom¬ ing event. Some could not be seen since shawls covered their heads, pro¬ tecting them from the rain. Up to now the court had been a unity, sharing the same worries and wonderment. Now only heartbeats seperated one of them from the rest. As the band completed their selec¬ tions, Student Association President John DeWitt climbed the stairs of the traditional Top Hat pedestal. There he crowned Janice Wimmer queen. Janice Wimmer, Queen 12

“UN TO VICTORY” became the senior class’ homecoming float theme. Through the use of a popular soft drink slogan they expressed their hopes of a Governor victory. Intrigued by the large construction, neighborhood children offered their help. 11 COMICAL REMARKS by senior J. Snyder help ease the nerves of senior C. Babinec as they go onto the field. ime ceremony SHOUTS FROM ABOVE instruct seniors C. Robertson and D. Meracle the proper area to place needed flowers. As the entries lined up for the parade, raindrops slowly fell. One by one, paper flowers dropped to the ground as painted signs began to run. Weeks of work seemed to sud¬ denly melt away as spectators quickly huddled under coats and umbrellas. “Even though we got soaked after several hours of preparation, we still had a lot of fun,” remarked senior JoAnn Matonovich, a candidate. Off and on the droplets continued to fall during the first half of the game against E. C. Roosevelt. Silently fans and queen candidates hoped the rain would cease for the half time ceremonies and the remaining portion of the football game. Their prayers were somewhat an¬ swered as a light mist filled the chilly air. Activities went on as originally planned. The Marching Governor band played Walt Disney tunes, pom pon girls performed, and a new queen was crowned. However, as final sec¬ onds ticked by, thoughts of a victory washed away with the weather as the Governors fell to ECR. LEAPING- WITH HAPPINESS senior J. Wimmer joyfully grabs her escort, senior B. Burns, as she is named queen.
