Sunshine on paraders Weeks of effort were counting on that sunbeam glistening through the bedroom curtains. The success of Homecoming 1974 hinged on that warm ray. The weather that had ruined previous celebrations would not interfere with this Oct- ober Saturday. Local car dealers part with con- vertibles and watch with a civic- minded but cringing smile as young drivers roar away in shining autos. 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.

PERSONIFICATION - King-sized Malcolm Hunter, as Lord Atlas, reigns over all at Mardi Gras, includ- ing his Lady-elect Debbie Chamness. DUTCH WINDMILL - Pam Morguson and Paulette Camden watch the spinning blades as Dave Caudle tries his luck at their booth, constructed by Judy Clark ' s Y-Teen group. iVorld ' sports Atlds Richmond High School attempted to catch the spirit of New Or- leans by moving the Y-Teen Mardi Gras to the springtime. Traditionally held in the fall, the spring 1974 Mardi Gras was an ex- periment in appealing to student in- terest. Hoping to increase at- tendance by scheduling the event at a less busy time of the year, RHS ' ers found that tradition still holds true with most and attend- ance was sparse. Lord and Lady Atlas, Malcolm Hunter and Debbie Chamness reigned over Round the World in Eighty Days as 26 booths each represented a different country they chose to sponsor. Games and prizes for each booth were to orginate or relate to each particular country represented. 26 Mardi Gras
