The Court On The Court Barbara Hosey. the new Basketball Homecoming Queen, expresses her joy and excitement with smiles and tears. The Basketball Homecoming Tra- dition lives on. How did these students become Basket- ball Homecoming maids? Well. the bas- ketball players got together and nominat- ed as many girls as they wanted to be on the court. Of course. this number was too large and had to be narrowed down to ten girls. All of the nominated girls names were placed on a ballot and distributed by the Student Council to all the homeroom classes for the student body to elect the girls they wanted to represent their class. A separate election involving only senior maids determined who would reign over the new court: the results were not re- vealed until the night of the big event! On January 4. 1980. the results of this election were released in a whirlwind of activities. Each girl was presented to the audience and was given a small bouquet of flowers and a gift from their class offi- cers. After the girls were presented. they anxiously awaited the name of the new queen. Barbara Hosey. who was presented with flowers and a kiss from the team cap- tains. was crowned as the 1980 Basket- ball Homecoming Queen by last years queen Gayle Canaga with the assistance of principal Billy Hubbard.
