FOOTBALL For the second successive year, rain interfered with homecoming plans. Although preliminary festi- vities were carried out, the gridiron duel with Staunton River was post- poned because of a downpour. On Friday, both the pep rally and the homecoming dance were held as scheduled. During the dance, the homecoming representa- tives were introduced, but the name of the queen was to remain secret until the game. Monday night the fans rolled into the stands. As members of a new district, the Blues were to challenge Staunton River for the first time. Anticipation of a new foe increased the homecoming excitement. The Blues started out strong and built up a 20-0 lead. But the highly acclaimed shotgun forma- tion of the Eagles revived their hopes with two quick touchdowns bringing the halftime score to 20-14. During halftime, the home- coming court was presented. Class representatives were introduced and Principal Wayne Flint crowned Julie McManamay as homecoming queen. For the first year, the selec- tion of queen had been made by the entire senior class rather then by the football team. After halftime festivities, the Blues took the field and played a dynamic second half taking a key 40-14 victory as they drew closer to capturing the district crown. ALUMNI AND TEACHERS are among those enjoying the music of WANV Disco at the homecoming dance. RADIANT describes Queen Julie Mc- Manamay as she poses with her escort, Pat Dyer. Homecoming 13
