Queen Debbie reigns over subjects Debbie Goering was crowned 1977 Homecoming Queen during half-time of the South-Hays foot- ball game, October 7. Before the coronation, all the queen candidates were driven around the track of Sa- lina Stadium in T-top Corvettes. Queen Debbie was driven by Murray Gorman, while Kent Pack acted as her escort. Anne Back- strom's driver was Doug Roth, with Kevin Reichmuth as her escort. Mike Dyer drove for Mary Hutchi- son and Greg Jackson escorted her. With Rod Feil as her driver, Jean Klotzbach was escorted by Brad Anderson. Betsy Larson was driven by David Burns and escorted by Loren Pack. The following evening was spent by many students in the decorated Commons, the scene of the annual dance. Silver pampas grass framed the entry, inside, strobe lights danced off mirror balls, tinsel chan- deliers and a mirror scene depicting the theme, g'Reflections. On a two-foot high platform with red carpet leading to it was Debbie's throne, made of black wrought iron. Candelabra and floral arrange- ments were placed on either side of the queen. Behind the throne sat two large mirrors to help carry out the theme and reflect Queen Deb- bie's beauty. The band, Glass Apple, played for Debbie and her subjects from 8 to 11 p.m. iv ,.. . , ' ' ---afLfw-- . v . mi ,Wi ,,, , . ..
