Homecoming 68 saw the initiation of several new activities. On Thursday and Friday the seniors t ool over the responsibihties of teaching all 6th and 7th period classes. On Friday afternoon alarm clocks placed strate- gically around in the halls, summoned the student body to the football field. There the senior girls played the senior boys in a game of touch football. Dallas Baer, J. P. Mattern, Gary Dillard, and Bruce Tonovitz dressed up and cheered the teams on. After the game, the Jr. Varsity and Varsity cheerleaders led the school in an hour-long pep session. Queen candidates were nominated the week before homecoming: Freshman candidate was Cindy Cleaveland; Sophomore, Karen Huffman; Junior candidate, Rhonda Cunningliam; and senior, Lola Keffaber. Throughout the week the classes campaigned vigorously for each of their respective candidates. The classes also carried on the tradition of decorating floats. The freshmen followed a Hawaiian theme, the sophomores titled theirs This Mod, Mod World , the juniors built a canopy with shrubs and greenery surround- ing their candidate, and the seniors constructed a garden scene with their candidate seated on a love seat in front of a wishing well. The conclusion to this busy week came on Friday night when the Norsemen met the Wliite ' s Warriors. In a gala half-time show, junior candidate, Rhonda Cunningham was crowned 1968 Homecoming Queen, and the juniors were recognized for liaving the best float. The Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the Student Council, was held on Saturday night, from 8 to 11:30. December ' s Children played and around 150 people attended.
