The game was close to the end and was finally concluded in overtime. Greensburg came out on top with the score of 12 - 6. The Krumb Kombo furnished after game entertainment at the dance honoring the queen and her court. February 1 was chosen to be the special night of basketball homecoming this year.

The six contestents were chosen by the chapter from the junior class. The girls must live on a farm or participate in farming activities to be eligable to compete. This year the candidates included: Janice Eakes, Debbie Hill, Denise Reiss, Sue Seaman and LuAnn Short. The contest was held outside at the West end of the building. The events this year were: goat milking, pulling a calf 20 yards, a wheelbarrow race, an egg toss, saddling a horse and driving a tractor. The combined total of points, those from the contest and those from the number of votes the chapter members cast, served to choose the sweetheart. Denise Reiss was chosen the F.F.A. Sweetheart of the Southwestern Heights chapter. She went on to compete for District Sweetheart at the district contest held at Garden City. She placed second runner-up in over all competition.
