Many elements contributed to the success of Homecoming 1975. The excitement started on Friday afternoon with a super spirited pep rally that featured The Wiz- ard of Oz. The stars of the show were Seniors Don Jackson and Denny Bogaczyk, while the cheer- leaders led the fans in many enthusiastic chants. A speech was also presented by Coach Gary Wak- smunski expressing his wishes for a Homecoming victory. On Saturday, the real excitement started. The parade began from the high school and proceeded to Island Park. It was the largest Homecoming Parade ever, thanks to the fine organization by Seniors Laurie Berguson and Bonnie Tarbox. This was followed by a Chicken Barbeque sponsored by the Kiwanis. The most excitement was at the football game when the Panthers came out after a 14 to 14 half- time knot. The fired up North Penn squad rallied in the second half and showed the true Homecom- ing Spirit by winning with a score of 52 to 14. With halftime, came the fears and anxieties of crowning the new queen. Candidates were Suzi Carlson, Joan Gekoski, Deb Bogaczyk, Karen Keagle, Janie Frederick, and Beth Delinski. A hush of silence came over the crowd when speaker Amy Kelchner announced the outcome. Janie Frederick received the first runner-up title, while Beth Delinski was crowned by the 1974 Homecom- ing Queen, Karen Dalton. A formal dance highlighted the evening, with the presentation of the autographed team football. Overall, Homecoming 1975 was a great success . . . one link to the Chain of Freedom.
