Coronation Begins Homecoming Activities Patty Finch and Ron Rhoden were crowned 19 73 Homecoming king and queen at the night coronation ceremony held in the auditorium at the beginning of Homecoming week. They reigned over a week of activities that included a pep fest, hayride, breakfast, game and dance. Candidates were nominated by seniors in homerooms and were voted on by the student body. Results were kept secret until coronation night when last year's king and queen, Brian King and Jean Loch, crowned the 1973 royalty. Student chairmen for homecoming were Patty Finch and Mike Steward who planned the activities with the help of student committees. Faculty chairmen were Terry Han- son and Mary Michael Connolly. Choir and band members were in charge of sales this year with pennants, buttons and balloons. The button slogan was Give Edison some of our medicine. Over 800 balloons were sold and a contest prize was awarded to the individual whose balloon traveled the fartherest distance. First prize went to Jim Liss when a card from his balloon was returned from Massachu-settes. Clark Hanson won second prize with a card returned from New York state and Richard Garland, third, with a card from New Jersey. Edison won a hard fought game, 6-0. The dance ended activities for the week.

South's entire defensive line smothers a West running back with the aid of middle linebackers Mike Billington and Jeff Book while Chris Manos, 20, covers an out going receiver. Two Senior Members Chosen for All City Team Seniors Jeff Book, line backer, and Chuck Vifquain, running back, were chosen for the All City Team this season after outstanding performances in regular city conference games to give South a 3—5 overall record. Under new head coach, Don Sovell, the Tigers took on a new perspective and were rated 6th in the city. The team had some good chances to score but missed as evidenced by the tie game with Henry. Henry and South both scored a touchdown and kicked conversions in the first quarter and at the end of the fourth quarter, the score was tied 7—7. With a new ruling, tied must be played off. Teams take turns putting the ball in play on the opponent's 10 yard line with four downs to score. Henry had the first opportunity and scored to win 13—7. The varsity squad played a tough schedule according to Coach Sovell and because of the drawing of teams, South did not play Vocational or Roosevelt who wore rated 9th and 10th. We played good hard football this season, said Sovell. If one word can be used to describe the team, it would be stubborn. Injuries plagued the team with 13 players missing one game or more. Ron Anderson, Don Anderson, Lee Chayer, Jeff Berg, Robin Olson, Gordy Hermann, Mark Allen and Ralph Ulleberg all missed 2 or more games or were out for the season. On the coaching staff is Bill Sommers, first assistant and line coach, Eric Magdanz, junior varsity; and sophomore coaches Bruce Santere and Roy Hawkins. 15
