On Oc- tober 15, 1977, Plaza watched Cathy Seeber accept the crown Cwhich was contributed by Trivial from Mr. Gilliam. Cathy Seeber cried with joy as the crowd surrounded her with congratulations. For our Homecoming game, Plaza played against Kempsville Junior High. This game resulted in an upsetting loss for Plaza, but this did not disturb the rest of the ex- citing day. The half-time show was performed by the Plaza Junior High School Band and the Marching Trojanettes. During that time Cathy Seeber was crowned as Homecoming Queen. The Homecoming Court included ninth graders - Rhonda Gardner and Dawna Gray, eighth graders - Ginette Backus and Vicki Gray, and seventh graders - Kim Nicolia and Lisa Shoemake. To end the excitement of Homecoming 77-78, the Marching Trojanettes sponsored the Homecoming Dance that night.

I-low can you have four students ofthe same family at- tend the same school? It is very possible when that family has twins. Such is the case in the Plummer family. Born in Langstuhl, Germany, Rita and Lita are in the ninth grade. Their brother John is in the seventh, and oldest sister Nita is in the ninth. Both twins are active in Plaza's fine band. They both play the clarinet and piano. Band takes a lot of time, chorused the two. Lita is also a member of the FHA. At school they have the same friends and hang around each other. One advantage of being a twin is getting into trouble together. Another is that we gave each other seven things for Christmas. A disadvantage is when others mistake you for your sisterf' To Rita, Lita is short, very bossy, and lazy in her academic studies. To Lita, Rita is naive, rather in- telligent, and a gum-snapper. They usually do not argue, but if they do, it is only on little teeny things. The cause for any disagreement usually results from Lita's mischievous nature. For example, in kindergarten they once switched classes for the whole day. They stressed that they were completely different. I'm taller and weigh more, said Lita, who is a mere ten minutes older. In the future, Rita would like to be a musician while Lita aspires to be a nurse or interior decorator 68 Faces 'K
