Sherry Goings Reigns as Football Homecoming ueen Amid the glitter and excitement that always precedes the annual Homecoming football game, the l963 football squad prepared to face the Joplin Eagles. During the game in which Raytown slipped by Joplin 20-19, the homecoming queen, Sherry Coings, who was escorted by Phil Rolf, and her attendants, Sue Chamberlain, escorted by Roger Miller, Annette Molder, escorted by Mike McComas, and Christine Wendel, escorted by Ulku Tinel, were seated on white wrought iron chairs inside a pumpkin coach which kept with the homecoming's Cinderella theme. Fon the half-time entertainment the Raytown Band and the Jaywalkers drill team joined together in forming a magic coach, a glass slipper, and finally a heart in which the queen was crowned. The Raytown Junior High gymnasium was the sce e of the Homecoming dance, held from 9:30 to ll:3O. lt, too, was decorated in the Cinderella theme. The trophy case in the gym entrance was covered by a huge fairy castle, surrounded by pumpkins and a purple velvet fairy mouse. The gym itself was the image of true fairyland. Six tall pillars directed the attention towards the queen's throne which was in the image of a high heeled slipper made from th usands of blue tissues. Couples danced in the courtyard formed by the white pillars and ate at tables decorated with magic wands and pumpkins. Rendy Collobert and Bob Jones attend dance at Junior High

Miss Mary llerries as played by Carol Hayes demands that Rose the maid, played by Suzanne Brown, tell her why she is leaving. Karen Howell, playing Ada Abbott, gets a powdering from Phyllis Stegner in the make-up room before the play begins. Carol Hayes Stars as KIND Morning coats, gunny sacks, a painting of Whistle1f's Mother, and a statue of a Ming horse were just a few of the items that the production crew of the fall play, Kind Lady, searched mad- ly for throughout the school and homes. Not one place was overlooked, and after a con- certed search everything needed was found, even Whistle1f's Mother-, With the setting of the play in the living room of a well-to-do London woman, an elaborate set was needed. Expensive furniture, therefore, was borrowed from the Jones Store Company, and shifts of two people, changing every hour, guarded the furniture while it stood in the auditorium before the play. The majority of the costumes were gathered from friends, family, and teachers. Some, however, such as the morning coats, were rented from the Kansas City Costume Company. A way was needed to support the flats used to form the walls of the room. Miss Greenwood, director, Pam Reynolds, student director, and Dale Fears, stage crew manager, visited feed companies to get gunny sacks to fill with sand for holding down flats. Other errands were made to buy paint and rent pictures. Everyone's hard work was rewarded when the curtain fell on closing night, December 7, after a magnificent performance. Phyllis Glenning, played by Connie Crow, reprimands her American finace, P eter Santard, played by Rick Stevenson.
