ommloe attend HQMEGQMUNQ ,inf we 4. , ,Y,, Among all high school traditions, one tends to stand out above them all. Homecoming. Every fall, the en- tire student body looks forward to the celebration that brings back alumni, elects a new queen and her court, holds the first dance of the year and conducts a parade. Homecoming, which was in early October, kicked off it's festivities by crowning the new queen, Jacky McPeek, and her court. This corona- tion ceremony marked the begin- ning of the week long celebration. On Friday night, there was a gen- eral mood of excitement as classes and other groups displayed their floats to the community. Each float centered their theme around The Sunday Funnies. The sophomores won the float competition, earning a S25 prize with their theme of Fly Away with a Victory. The football game against the Fre- mont St. Joe Crimson Streaks was a close contest, ending in a 14-13 vic- tory for the Pirates. Saturday night concluded the Homecoming festivities with a dance in the high school cafeteria. Couples dame and danced to the tunes of M-8O, a local band. After the dance, many students ended their weekend by going on dinner dates. Opposite Page: 1. Al Bretz escorts senior Patty Carpenter to her seat with the queen and her court. 2.

AQUAQTCCDN Q e up in lleliilie Several groups from school have made trips to museums, concerts, contests and fun outings, but only one club has ventured as far as the Broadway stage. That club is the Aqua - Tones. The Aqua - Tones didn't really go as far as Broadway, but they re- created some of the best moments from past and current stage produc- tions scanning from the 30's to the 70's as their theme was entitled Broadway, Broadway. The Aqua - Tones swam to show tunes from America's favorite musicicals such as West Side Story, The Wiz, Cabaret, South Pacific, and Singin' in the Rain. Each of the 31 girls who partici- pated in the Aqua - Tone show, which was held on three nights in November, spent nearly every even- ing for two months practicing for hours in preparation for the final production. Many parents also con- triputed their time to making cos- tumes and sets for the show. Nine senior guys also swam in the show, adding a comical side by swimming to the tune of Greased Lightening from the Broadway musical Grease As the show came to an end, the cast gave their regards to Broad- way and returned from a trip they won't soon forget.
