Booster Week ignited the 1974 Homecoming Activities while enthusiasm rocketed to a climax at Johnson Field. Oldie Goldie day began early Friday morning when Sue Whinrey's home became the boss hangout for over 100 members of the Class of '75. Dozens of Betty Lou's and Teen Angels joined in the caravan of decorated cars crusading loudly through Speedway en route to school. This is the most spirit l've ever seen in this building, was the reaction of Mr. Troth at the afternoon pep session. juniors Dawn Fox and Mike Linville were selected as the students most typifying the looks of the '5O's.f' Senior Mary Caplinger reigned as the 1974 Homecoming Queen with her court of Iolynne Fidger and Paula Read, seniors, Kim Soeder, juniorp Melissa King, sophomore, and Ginger Bane, freshman. After many hours of hard work, the four classes presented their floats for judging during the halftime festivities. The Senior class proudly accepted the winning plaque for its entry, a haunted house with the theme We've got the Spirit. Homecoming came to an end with our Sparkplugs drowning the warpath of the Danville Warriors in a Speedway-dominated game. The floats were led off the field, the bright lights were shut off, and Homecoming 1974 joined our thoughts as an everlasting memory.

and Mrs. Gilbreth lSteve Pruitt and Cindy Nicholsl are ' cked as their daughter Anne fLori Tellmanni displays her Student Theater's fall production, Cheaper by the Dozen, expressed the joys and sorrows in a family of twelve child- ren living during the 1920's. The play was seen through the eyes of two of the children, Ernestine QDebbie Vogel, and Frank Gilbreth Uoe Thompsonl, who reminisced about the actions of their unusual father fSteve Pruittl, a motion- studies expert. Concerned with the children's saving time through working efficiently at home and skipping grades at school, Mr. Gilbreth created a family council to improve each of its members. As the curtain closed, Mrs. Gilbreth tCindy Nicholsl assumed the responsibilities of raising her family alone when her husband, stricken with a heart ail- ment, left for London to speak at a conference from which he would never return. Special sound effects and a four- legged actress, Nikki the Dog, complimented the efforts of Theater members to produce a successful show. The second theater production, The Night of january 16, took the audience to a New York courtroom where Karen Andre fI.ori Tellmannl was on trial for the murder of her lover Bjorn Faulkner. Unknovxm to the audience, Karen had aided Bjorn in a fake suicide to escape financial collapse. Defending Miss Andre was Defense Attorney Stevens tRoy Evrittl while District Attorney Flint fSteve Pruittl attempted to prove the defendant guilty of the murder. As the play unwinds, Karen and the audience learned that Faulkner actually was dead and his financial empire ruined. Theater members portraying parts as jury members and witnesses sat with the audience before being called to stage. This play was unique in the fact that none of the actors were forewarned of the jury's decision. Therefore, the defendant was found guilty at one performance and innocent the other, completing the Student Theater 1974-1975 season. Zilliliilliiliilflikifilliilfikikllk fm e C-ilbreth children QL.
