In America, high school homecom- .ngs are as traditional as apple pie and Thanskgiving. The feelings of home- :oming suspense, anticipation, ex- :itement . . . remain in the memory long after graduation has passed. Many peo- ale remember homecoming as a time of .ntense excitement and anxiety. Will we inish the float? Will I get a date? Who will win the homecoming game? For weeks in advance, the suspense builds to a feverish pitch. When the big night finally arrives, some are almost too ner- vous to enjoy it. This year, as in other years, homecoming was a hectic time. f5.C.A. president Angela Langham said, j Even though we had no bonfire and we had to cram everything into three days, his year's homecoming evoked a big re- ponse. We had a few mishaps - the andy from the Candy Count contest was stolen, the reception cake got thrown on the floor, and the mi- crophones wouldn't work - but, it was worth it, I think. There were many good moments. The Pot Luck dinner for the court was lots of fun, and the S.C.A. made enough money to get out of debt. Best of all, it didn't rain. Homecoming Queen Dana Buckman felt joy tempered with pain. After the ceremonies, she had to return to the hos- pital where she was being treated. The crowd in the stadium applauded her for- titude, and her fellow students re- warded her with their vote. In the end, the alumni returned to col- lege, the floats were dismantled, and the crown was packed away for another year. But that homecoming feeling will linger on. elow: Former Cavalier mascot Stuart Thompson for a sentimental journey.

The aerial view of Princess Anne shows the surrounding farmland and meadows in the year 1961. Today the school is sur- rounded by Farm Fresh, Pembroke Mall, Hechingers, IHOP, and King's Florist. The students have also changed with the times. One visible difference is the style of dress. Skirt lengths have moved up and down over the years. The difference is drastic as shown in the cheerleading uni- forms. Fashions these days are not as for- mal as they were then. Many traditions, however, have lasted through the de- cades. Teachers are still giving us quality education, and our school involvement is something to be proud of. Princess Anne is in itself a tradition to cherish. Above: Aerial View of Princess Anne in 1961.
