Bandaged students on crutches and in casts shuffled through the halls. Farmers rode to school on tractors. Baseball players, fishermen and jockeys joined the fun. I forgot it was hospital Day during Spirit Week. When I got to school and saw all those kids bandaged up, I didn't know what to think, said freshman Diane Manthey. Students wearing blue and gold filled the gym at a pep session Friday. Mr. Stark introduced the homecoming candidates and five finalists. I was really excited when I found out I was one of the finalists, said Candidate Billie Tomlin. But when I looked outside and saw the gray sky, I began to worry about the weather. I knew that if it rained, the truck decorations would be ruined. Tissue paper and cardboard could never hold up. By Friday evening a steady drizzle had begun, and the candidates assembled at Park and Shop armed with umbrellas. Rogers' Band led the parade to Ames Field. During halftime RYB Candidate Penny Berkes, escorted by Ed Samalio, became the 1977 Homecoming Queen. It seemed like most of the people left immediately after halftime. The game was a wet mess, and the spectators that remained were trying to keep warm instead of watching, commented sophomore Theresa Mullins.
