L UNITY AND TOGETHERNESS Meadovvbrook was the only school we could find courageoas enough to challenge us in a football game, and even then pride was shattered as the Crimson Wave blew them away. Not only did the football team put on a show, but also did the band which got down, got funky and got loose, as they stepped to the tunes of Last Dance and Close the Door . As usual, there was a dazzhng Homecoming parade and the crowning of two lovely young ladies. .Monica White, represent- ing the Chorale, was crowned Miss Homecoming 1978, with runners-up Lynn Chariton and Cynthia Stewart. The title of Miss Football Sweetheart was won by Miss Stephanie Pride. Homecoming ' 78 proved to be very special because a certain bond existed among those present. The time was right and the night air was clear, as the crowd showed their devotion to dear, old PHS. 1. Mr. Porach crowns Miss Monica White 19T8 Homecoming Queen. 2.
