Each Candidate Is Truly a Queen Included in the Kichwoods Homecoming activi- ties was the exciting but difficult task of selecting one of the prettiest senior girls to reign as Home- coming Queen. This affair took place on Thurs- day, the 20th. and was accomplished through much patience and the following steps: first of all, each senior nominated three senior girls as Queen candidates. The votes were then tabulated, and the seven senior girls with the most votes became the seven candidates. Secondly, an assembly was held to present these seven senior girls to the entire school. Thirdly, following the assembly, each stu- dent voted for the one girl he wanted to represent Riclnvoods as Homecoming Queen. Finally, the following Friday, the candidates were driven in the Homecoming parade, and once again everyone had the opportunity of seeing all the candidates. Later on that evening, the candidates were driven around for the final time during halftime ceremonies. Then the long awaited announcement came the Homecoming Queen of 1963-1964 was Kathy Benningficld! At the dance she was pre- sented with a plaque bearing her name and the date, a bracelet, and a lovely bouquet of roses. Homecoming Queen, Miss Kathy Bcnningfield. Dancing round a towering Knight.
