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. Dr. Knutson presented the Queen, Debbie McConnell, and King, Tony Cooper, before a spirit-filled crowd of students at the Homecoming pep rally. 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.

22 RNEW TRADITION by Lesley Garrett It ' s Homecoming weekend and one question is heard throughout the halls of South . . . Does a man with a crown belong here? For weeks this question hod been toss- ed around and finally a decision was made ... a crown was for a queen, but this year there would be kings elected as well as queens. This was the beginning of a new tradition. The Homecoming game and dance started the festivities. Originally a court of five beautiful girls stood in front of the fans, but this year the crowd would look upon a court made up of five kings as well as five queens. The King, Tony Cooper, said that it was a different feeling, but he thought that it was nice to have men included in the Homecoming Court made up of David Buffenborger, Timothy Vance, Michael Dellapina, Joseph Banks, and the King, Tony Cooper. The Queen, Debra McConnell, was joined by her court which consisted of Joyce Batey, Kim Gaines, Terri Means, and Joni Wiss- inger. At the pre-game activities, the King and Queen received their crowns and rounds and rounds of applause as they began their reign at the Homecoming game. On Saturday night the festivities were continued with a dance in the school commons. This was the culmination of the Homecoming activities and it was a time for getting together and dancing with close friends. 1.
