Qui en candidates prim as floats 24 Homecornir:? and the team appear. Spectators close in on the parade route for a gander at high school merriment. Homecoming festivities begin at last, this time on a happy note. That night an undefeated football team rolls over another opponent. At half-time the band lays out the groundwork for a queen ' s coro- nation. Finally, she is announced. Susan Stegan is driven around the track and receives praise as the 1974 Homecoming queen. Spirit is high as the after-the- game dance begins. Autumn Breeze is well attended by more than 200 people and the area rock band Arcade entertains. Finally, people file out of the Civic Hall doors. Another big event is over. Last thoughts of the efforts of hundreds of people and the suc- cess of Homecoming 1974 seem to mingle in that moonbeam coming through the bedroom curtain. Home at last.
