Suffolk High Royalty Homecoming Court selection is based upon the students ' votes. The seniors nominate fifteen girls from their ranks to be on the court; then the class votes for eight girls who will become the senior Princesses. The junior, sophomore and freshmen classes select five girls from each class and subse¬ quently vote for two attendants from their respective classes. Finally, a few days before Homecoming, the football team casts their votes for Homecoming Queen, choosing from the eight senior Princesses. Their choice is announced at half-time, preceded by much suspense. Tracy Colander and Lisa Collins (top left), Sheila Porter and Greta Scott (above), and Grier Stotlar and Tess Ward (left) show a wide variety of emotions as they parade around the field. A picture of Princesses Erika Parker and Robin Duke was unavailable. Sheila Porter (below), unaware that she has been selected Homecoming Queen, grins for the photogra¬ pher while the others watch the game. HOMECOMING 27
