Double O saved Homecoming In addition to the usual Homecom- ing activities, this year ' s Homecom- ing assembly featured a faculty sbit parodying an orange-and-blacb Douglas Homecoming. The skit was narrated by Joanne Lane. Judy Warren, and Ron Pagni, who weaved a tale of humour and in- trigue for the student body. The sbit started out portraying a normal Reno High School Homecoming, but the sudden ap- pearance of Orange Finger (Roger Glanzman) changed everything. Orange Finger, by means of his mysterious powers, converted a Reno Homecomiiig into a Douglas Homecoming. The outrageously dressed Douglas royalty were couples Sally Ann and Freddy Stud (Sharon See and Ray Hayes): Willamette and Albert (Florence Werry and Stan Benson); Sadie Mae and Horace (Cathy Retterer and John Gilbertson); Muffy and Corby (Marilyn Crane and Everett Marble); and Liz and Jim George Billie Bob (Christine Wiseman and Bill Burr). Next appeared the Douglas Flagteam members (Louise Bullis, Allyn Duncan. Barbara Lee. Mibe Jones, Ken Fujii, Gene Mortara, Carol Eaton, and Katherine Howell), who attempted a performance, but what resulted was pure chaos. The Douglas Songleaders (Olivia Martin, Judy Counter, Linda Morris, Rondi Salter, Carol Tripp, and Jo Barrett) decided not to perform because they were afraid of the possibility of ruin- ing their hair and breablng their nails. Then came the showdown. Douglas star player Bruiser Killer (Joanne Bond) and Orange Finger confronted Reno ' s best (Mary Wycoff) in a less than equal match. At last Double O Scattini (Gene Scattini) arrived to save the day. Orange Finger ' s power faded and he and his devices were sent bacb to Douglas High School, while Double O retained his job, his victories, his wealth, and his good loobs. POSSESSING THE M.

STARTING OFF THE procession of bing and queen candidates, Patrick Reinbemeyer and Gigi Ravera pass under ROTC crossed-swords honor guard. WITH THE UTMOST precision, the Husbiettes show off their chorus-line bicbs. DURING HOMECOMING HALF-TIME, the Songieaders join in a routine with the Flag Team and band. Spirit highlighted Foster Field At half-time, like an American fla$, Foster Field became a red and blue expression of patriotism and spirit for all of Reno High School. Student response to the festivities was en- thusidstic, and all enjoyed the many activities taking place. Starting off the festivities, the band, led by the Flag I ' eam, marched on- field. While the bcuid played, the Songleaders, Cheerleaders, Drill Team, and Flag Team simultaneously performed individual routines, creating a panorama of color and ac- tion. The class floats were then driven onto the field to be displayed and judged. The increase in spirit over previous years was evident in the quality of these floats. Next, students were treated to a show of finery and lace as the King and Queen candidates were an- nounced. The royal couples arrived in chauffeur-driven Corvettes and proceeded to pass under an ROTC Honor Guard archway. The King can- didates were dressed in matching black tuxedos complete with top hats and canes, while the Queen can- didates wore their finest evening gowns. Having nervously awaited the fateful news all week, the candidates tensions were finally relieved: Jeff Lowden and Gigi Ravera were crown- ed the new royal Homecoming cou- ple! Ending the festivities on a colorful note, hundreds of helium-filled red and blue balloons were released into the night. As the balloons rose into the sky, so, too, did Reno High spirit soar, for the sky was the limit. V V f ' . STUNNED BY THE news, newly-crowned king Jeff Lowden receives congratulations from his escort, Shelli Funbhouser. 22
