''Just You And Me In 1974 The 1974 Homecoming festivities opened amid the excitement of school spirit week under the direction of Mr. Ken Behl, Mr. James Carlson, Sue Ohnesorge, and Peter McKenna. Coronation activities were headed by co-chairmen Pat Anderson and Dawn Danner. On October 2, students, alumni, and friends gathered in the gym while C.L. Directions played. With Tom Niemackle acting as emcee, each of the candidates and their escorts made their way down the traditional red carpet. A note of nostalgia was added to the evening by Barb Langseth, the 1957 Homecoming Queen, who reminised about the fads of the fifties. The Four Musketeers brought back the old barbershop style of singing as they entertained the crowd. Further entertainment was provided by the Madrigal Singers and the Tapaires. The suspense mounted as the moment of decision grew nearer and when Kim Ashland was finally picked the crowd gave a burst of approval. After Candy Kurth relinquished her crown to her successor, Kim laughingly exlcaimed, I guess I'm going to have to grow some more hair to keep my crown from falling off. After the crowning the crowd retired to the lunchroom for the Queen's Reception. The following Saturday 200 couples arrived at the lunchroom for the Homecoming dance. Articles from past Homecoming issues of the Spotlite lined the foyer walls and pictures of couples decorated another hall to depict the theme of this year's dance, Just You and Me. As the band, Flow played, some couples gathered on the dance floor while others took time to sign in or look for their leaf on the big tree on one wall. Mr. John Diana and Mr. John Nelson were kept busy taking pictures of couples who wanted a lasting memory of the evening. As the dance drew to a close, it was certain that foremost, this night would long be remembered. UPPER LEFT: Couples dance to the music of Flow . MIDDLE LEFT: Shawna Brennen ? butlon up Don Wolpers.
