oosteBI 20 5PIRIT DN UJHEEL5 by David Whired The spirit seemed to sweep the area as the cheers from the crowd rumbled like thunder. Along with the put put of Model T ' s and the roar of International Harvester trucks were heard the cheers of the crowd for the royal court. This year the court was full with the pomp and circumstance that Queens as well as Kings deserve.

Other members of the court were David Duffenbarger, Joyce Batey, Timothy Vance, Joni Wissinger, Mike Dellapina, Kim Gaines, Joe Banks, and Terri Means. The Queen and King were escorted to Evans Stadium by the Shawnee Antique Motor Club who volunteered their cars for the parade. The cars ranged from a Model T Ford to a Camero race car. An International truck was also in the parade. It carried the signs of the Junior and Senior Boosters. The skating cheerleaders rolled their way to the stadium leading the hoards of cheering fans. Parri Payne, a member of the Varsity cheerleaders, said that the people along the parade route were very enthusiastic in support of the Queens and Kings.
