Senior Brenda Staak was crowned 1974 Homecoming queen at liaiftime, amid a small controversy regarding the number of senior attendants permitted to be on Homecoming Court. For the past two years five girls were senior attendants, but Student Congress changed the number of girls to three when they didn ' t order enough mums this year.

At the end of the day, the guy who had collected the most Bulldogs, Senior Leiand Atteberry, with 64, won the title of Mr. Irresistible. Another day featured a pie-eating contest between the four football coaches, and Coach Stan Hostetler took honors by devouring his cream pie first. One day was designated as Lick ' em and the Senior Class, by collecting the most Dum Dum sucker wrapers, won a trophy. Thursday evening sparked the lighting of the traditional bonfire, followed by a pep rally where Sportsmanship Council presented a skit. Friday was set aside for each class to decorate it ' s section of the gym, for the afternoon pep session. Colored crepe paper streamed from ceiling to floor, while elaborate posters boasted Bulldog spirit. That night more floats and decorations than in any previous years, participated in the annual parade through New Haven to John Young Stadium. Top honors went to the Class of ' 75 for the best float and to French Club for the best decorated car. However, through all the excitement, the Bellmont team proved themselves tougher, by defeating New Haven 20-7. Although they crushed the hopes of a Bulldog victory, spirit had just begun it ' s UPSWING. 14— Homecoming

Many jumped on the Democratic Party bandwagon and campaigned for candidates. Others ' loyalties were for Republican hopefuls, who contended with Watergate, but still won many local posts. Watching another landmark give way to dynamite and then asphalt, a few students were touched by Hotel Keenan ' s loss. Inflation most greatly affected students as lunch prices, record and tape costs and gas prices rose. Some lost their jobs because of cutbacks, and were forced to return to school the whole day. More had parents who suffered from job losses and high utility costs. No Bobby Riggs— Billy jean King tennis captured sport enthusiasts, but Mohammad Aii confronting George Foreman was the next best thing. Despite being down about inflation, students ' spirit within school remained higher than in previous years, and many breathed a sigh of relief when 1974 ended and the new year began.
