Homecoming 1977 “A Knight Among The Stars” Joy Mountz and her escort. Dan Henry, enjoy the traditional Queen's Dance. The 1977 Homecoming dance was, as always, the highlight of Homecoming. As the hour of ten approached, our beautiful queen, Joy Mountz, was crowned amidst all the traditional tears and smiles. Everyone present had a fantastic time “rockin' and a rollin’’’ to the zangy music of Lambrusco. The evening was truly made for romance as stars gleamed from the ceiling, and a huge, yellow moon served as the picture booth. “A Knight Among the Stars,” was, all in all, a huge success! Chip Frcdcrking and Val Crank step to the beat of the band Dana Dewey flashes her ultrabright smile at Bud McCunibcr. Lambrusco.

Spirit shimmered through the halls of Richwoods as spirit-week began on October 3rd. The ball started rolling as each class took part in decorating its own hall with colorful, spirit-filled posters in quest of the sacred spirit stick. The junior-senior girls’ powder puff football game raised school interest as the seniors came off with a striking victory of 6-0. Enthusiasm mounted as the queen candidates were chosen, the annual chili supper, and the stunt shows took place on October 6th. During the stunt shows, the senior sexy legs contest surely gave everyone delightful memories. Before the big game, a super-great pep assembly took place backing our Knights TLhc jur!iors got cn,huscd as ,heir stunt show progressed with applause from • . .. i c .l i ■ . r» i . the aud « n'v against the wiles of the Limestone Rockets, and cheers rang out from the gymnasium. But disappointment shadowed the Homecoming game on October 7th as rain discouraged many fans from attending the game. The game continued despite the downpour, and misfortune carried on into the evening as all of the carefully planned half-time festivities were cancelled. Finally, the loyal fans that turned out to see the game saw the Knights fall to defeat in overtime. Although everyone was disappointed. Homecoming left fond memories with all. The freshmen skit, as always, showed the awakening talent and skill of our newest students. After a very original stunt show, the sophomore class takes a well-deserved bow. The senior skit made an interesting end to the frosh, soph, junior, and senior productions. 21
