W. Grove, Queen There are several things which are associated with Fall: brightly colored leaves, freshly-baked pies, and pump- kins, which have been carefully carved to serve as a jack- o-lantern. Another mentionable item, which occurs in the Fall, is the annual Autumn Glory Parade. This parade had provided excitement for all those who live in Oakland and for the tourists who come to watch and enjoy the atmosphere. The parade this year was enhanced by marching bands, the Ali-Ghan Shriners, entertaining clowns, and moun- tain men dressed in their buckskin and coon caps. Also participating in the parade were various clubs, such as: 4- H, Girls Scouts, and FFA, all of whom rode on specially designed floats. As in the years before, the parade reached a climax when the Autumn Glory Queen passed through the crowd. Reigning as queen this year was Miss Wendy Grove, daughter of Robert and Virginia Grove. Holding the title of queen provides a feeling of honor and excite- ment, as in which case, Wendy stated, “I had a great time at all the Autumn Glory festivities. The crowd turnout and their enthusiasm was excell ent. The weather was gor- geous and all the events were really well planned out. I think thata combination of all these things helped make Autumn Glory 1984 one of the most exciting ® A happy clown strides down events of the year.” the street, as the audience watches in wonder. . ¥ a 2) ft . ¥ a ee 12 Autumn Glory

After the football game between Southern and Val- ley, which was 58-0 our favor, students and faculty attended the Homecoming Dance. One couple said, “The only thing wrong with the dance was the band. Monte Vista is a good band, but not at a dance. A Homecoming Dance needed slow = , not hard rock. D a Nn ce t h e Nn 1 S h t Le Birdee Coane tedl “T thought Football Home- coming was really nice. The decorations were very awa | pretty and spirited. The band was also very good. I V e think if people would have danced more, it would have made Homecoming even nicer.” Planning for the Homecoming is a lot of hard work. “For all the preparation, work and expense involved, I’m always a little disappointed that more people don’t come,” said Mrs. Sandi Smith, GAA Advisor. Mrs. Smith also said that there are not too many places you can go out for the evening and only spend $5.00 to get in. @ After being crowned Home- ® Standing in front of Home- coming Princess by Mr. Ar- coming Court are Breanne thur Refosco, principal, Renee Miller and Michael Ritchie.
