excitement overflow as Homecoming activities highlight sports season. Elated queen, Nancy Caudle, and her escort, Mike Kimel, lead contestants off the field as half-time activities end. Attired in swishing formals, excited girls attempted to steady jittery nerves while waiting for their dates. Boys also eagerly anticipated these so- cial happenings as they bought admission tickets, rented tuxedos, provided transportation, and com- pleted last minute arrangements. Occasions such as the Harvest Dance, the Christmas Dance, the Twirp Dance, and the Spring Prom provided an opportunity for social development among all Parkland students. Committee members met to discuss colorful decor- ations, party-type refreshments, and appropriate entertainment for these upcoming gala events. Mustangs built quite full and oftentimes rushed so- cial lives by planning and attending these parties, dances, and proms. Crisp, autumn evening air stimulated the atmo- sphere for the crowning of Parkland Senior High's first Harvest Queen. Since Parkland was in its first year, there were no alumni to return for a home- coming. After a superb performance of the Dixie Debs, majorettes, and band members, a stillness swept over the stadium as Carol Leonard, Miss Winston-Salem, prepared to crown the queen. A nervous feeling of anxiety was felt throughout the stadium as twenty-eight sponsors stood on the field waiting to hear the final decision. Suddenly the loud speaker announced, The i965 Harvest Queen is Miss Nancy Caudlel Amidst tears and smiles of happiness, the court left the field to be greeted by congratulations from excited spectators. Waiting to crown Parkland's l965 Harvest Queen is Carol Leonard, Miss Winston-Salem, escorted by Mr. Larry Graham.
