Two fun-filled weeks of planning, rushing, wire snipping, Kleenex fold- ing, and spray painting ended with a dawn that threatened rain. This, however, failed to dampen the spirits of enthusiastic PHS’ers. The rain held off, and students were dismissed early for their first pep session of the year. Then began the tedious task of shepherding the floats from their building sites to Central Elementary for judging. Detained by low hanging trees and power lines, the seniors’ gigantic prize winner nearly missed the show. Nevertheless, at 6:30 that night the parade snaked out intact on the two mile route to the high school. At the conclusion of traditional homecoming halftime activities, the naming of the winning float and the Queen of the Quakers, things literally began to pop. Ray Strahl’s Red Pride Marching Band presented its first patterns of motion drill routine, I Am a Patriot accompanied by a colorful fireworks display. With fireworks flashing and flags waving, the band proudly stepped off the field to a standing ovation from the crowd. Then, as the last drum roll faded. PHS fans settled down to watch the Fighting Quakers ditch Greencastle 16-8. Lined up for judging behind Central Elemen- tary School, the juniors' train, the sophomores’ caged tiger, and the seniors' knight present a tough choice but the final decision goes to se- niors’ colossal entry. Alum, retired Plainfield school teacher, and Quaker fan for over seventy years, all at- tributes that make Parade Marshall Edith Bly the logical symbol of Homecoming ’72. Flags flying, the majorettes climax the March- ing Band’s patriotic Homecoming halftime show. A scream of disbelief erupts even before her name is called as sr. Susan Maxwell realizes that she is to be Queen of the Quakers for 1972. Heads up, the eager Red Pride defense braces to meet the Greencastle Irefore an overflow Homecoming crowd. 18 HOMECOMING

PHS Quakers dominate County x-countiy meet Growing in strength as the 1972 season progressed, the Quaker cross country team rebounded from last year's first win in forty-four dual meets to capture Plainfield’s first Hendricks County title. Record setting Steve Montgomery was named the team’s Most Valuable Runner after he placed first in the county meet and earned the Top Sophomore award at the Brazil In- vitational. Steve and Mark Wendt both made the All-Conference team after placing 5th and 8th, respec- tively, in the Mid-State meet. Beginning the season with only one returning letterman, the 1972 tennis squad suffered from lack of overall experience. In addition, the expanded Quaker schedule improved the caliber of competition faced by the Red Pride net men. Thus, determination not with- standing, the team could only put to- gether a 3-8 record. However, frosh Rick Scotten, jr. Mark Wurfel, and sr. John Hall placed in singles com- petition at the Mid-State matches and team captain Neal Owens scored four points for PHS in the sectionals.

Jim Day, Rick Scotten, Bob Adams, Jeff Cokain, Mike Reynolds. A shade too slow, soph. Steve Montgomery finishes second against Whiteland. Eye on the hall, sr. Neal Owens tenses for the return as PHS takes on Greenwood. Pride and awe fuse as sr. Mark Sinders and jr. Mark Wendt examine PHS s first County cross country trophy. Timing is all important to jr. Mark Wurfel reaching for a backhand return.
