Out for a joy-ride in their Model-T are Randy Wilson and Patti Yoder And the Winner Is... Who will be the lucky girl, the one to win the coveted title of “homecom- ing queen?” The four senior girls waited it out until the results were announced at the game, while the freshman, sophomore, and junior candidates basked in the honor of be- ing selected by their classmates. At half time, the Angola Hornets had edged the Raiders score wise, but the excitement of the queen contest drowned out dismay. Starry-eyed queen candidates enjoyed their tem- porary royalty as they were escorted around the track in classy classic cars. In their spiffy suits, the escorts looked as nervous as the queens, but the tension broke with the final an- nouncement. “The winner is ... Kris Harper!” The limelight went to Kris and her escort Gregg Eash, who beamed as flashes went off all around them. The game ended in a loss, but the magic of the moment was definitely a highlight.

Not Quite Ready for Prime Time... Northridge students took the community by storm with their blockbuster talent show — the Green and Gold Preview. Everything from rock bands to aliens from outer space invaded the stage to show off their talents. Song and dance routines and vocal solos were a few more examples of the Northridge creativity factor. Whether the acts were serious or silly, the crowd loved them, and the students got a kick out of performing. Organization problems cropped up early when plans for the Green and Gold were announced. It seemed that everyone had a case of stage fright. But students came through when it counted, and the result was one of the most successful Green and Gold's in several years. Judging from the photos, could anyone ever imagine that the kids were too shy to perform? No way! It’s another first for Northridge spirit. The ever-so-charming Mitch Slabach dips Liz Galt in their song and dance creation. After dedicating the song to his girlfriend, Jerry Lawson touches the audience with his roman- tic ballad.
