They look so excited walking back down the aisle. I didn’t realize there was music as we walked down the aisle. I wonder if Dick and Sara noticed? Everyone is congratulating them. They look genuinely happy though the candidates must feel a little sad. I'm sad too. But, all the memories will last forever in many ways. Opposite: Top Left: CROWN AND SCEPTOR BEARERS: B Strauman.

AN INSIDE VIEW Standing here now I can remember what it was like. Except for the people everything is the same, the oohs and ahs. the traditional walk and all the feelings. I tried to be calm but the jitters began as the first name was announced. I wondered if I would trip and if I would remember to curtsey at the right time. I hoped my escort would take my hand — especially since everyone seemed to be watching me. Now the lights are dimming and the music is starting. I can feel the tension increase as the candidates begin their procession. They look beautiful in their formals and suits. They walk up the steps and bow to David and me. I could burst. What a secret! I can't wait to pass the crown over their heads. How long should I wait before I put it on Sara's head? They all look anxious standing there, trying not to show it. David has already begun the crowning. There it goes. Dick looks stunned. Now it’s my turn. Very slowly I'll move the crown back and forth over their heads ... Let the anticipation grow. Listen to the audience squeal. Sara, congratulations! I'm so happy for you. The robe looks like it was made for you. Up Front

YABBA, DABBA, DID IT ! Homecoming 78 didn't begin with a pebble, a stone, or a rock, but with a prehistoric boulder featuring the Flintstones. From Monday, Up Front September 25, through Friday the 29. the Flintstones popped up in every corner uncovering what was in store. For one week of the year there was something happening every night at Park. Monday night, the Flintstones witnessed the first annual volleyball tournaments which CeCe Krelitz and Mimi Winger, chairpersons, had helped to promote. The crowd could watch six different games in progress with over 150 participants. The Tuesday night Pie-Eating Contest had the biggest crowd in its seven year history, everyone agreeing that the contest was a smashing success. Excitement built toward Coronation, with the question of, Who will be crowned King and Queen? The answer came on Wednesday night as Richard Maas and Sara Bonde emerged as the new royal couple. On the agenda for Thursday night was the soccer game with Park losing a close game by 3-1 to Edina West. Varsity Show entertainment during Friday's pep fest put the students in an enthusiastic mood for the night’s game. As game time grew closer, the stands started to fill with football fanatics, parade watchers and loyal fans.
