Suspense was in the air that night as Mike Beeman, last year's Home- coming king, wandered around the platform. Taunting and teasing the audience, he slowly walked past each of the eight couples, eyeing each of the princes playfully. Finally, he stop- ped and extended his hand to the new king, Dennis Willard. Earlier that day, October ii, Wal- nut held its first double Homecoming assembly. Because of over-crowding at previous pep rallies and the tradi- tional popularity ofthe Homecoming assembly, ASB decided to hold two assemblies plus a night pep rally. Sec- retary of School Spirit Sheila Slattery stated, We decided to have the night pep rally in addition to the two assemblies so that we could announce the king there. We wanted to have only one assembly but we would have had to turn about 700 people away because of crowding. An outdoor assembly was also out of the question because of the unpre- dictable weather. The double assemblies topped off a week of vigorous activities for the student body. But as the lights dim- med andthe promenade of the Court began, all eyes were focused on the sixteen seniors who had been chosen by their peers a week earlier. As Barbi Miller and Mike Simone read each candidates favorite things, the audi- ence had to decide who their choices for king and queen would be. Voting took place in fourth period classes. A shortage of ballots given to teachers forced some students to go to the Student Store to votea Homecoming Assembly!Transacti0ns 13

The game vas awesome! exclaimed sopho- nore Lori Mason. Bright red trucks rounded the track marading the Homecoming princes- ess at half time. Clutching their athers' arms, the princesses strolled lown the football field and were ntroduced to the audience. Then larkness stilled the night. A voice iver the stadium fractured the my A r il silence and announced the queen Flashing cameras, a red cape, a bou- quet of yellow roses and Dennis Wil- lard fthe Homecoming kingl wel- comed Tammy Crane to her reign. Two first place awards were given to the only entries in the float con- test, the French club and the Drama department. To compensate for the new regulation of having no cars or trucks carrying the floats, bicycles and a man-carried stage were used. Eight members of the French club peddled around the field with red, white and blue decorated bicycles. Clothed French style, the riders waved their half-eaten loaves of French bread to the audience. ln ren- aissance attire, the Drama depart- ment paraded an elevated queen fol- lowed by her lords, monks, and jes- ters. The band marched into formation and spaced themselves on the field. Sometimes We Reflect on the Good Times, the theme of Homecoming, echoed in the background. The alumni were scattered along the side- lines. Then the instruments hummed The Way We Were. When the final seconds of the game ticked off, the Walnut fans rampaged down from the stands. Into their cars, the crowd headed their separate ways. Some went to Car- row's, ln-and-Out and Pizza Hut, the after-the-game hang-outsff Many attended the Homecoming dance. Others socialized at parties until the following day? ATOWERING ABOVE HER SERV- ANTS, Laura Allen presides as queen in the Renaissance Reflections float.
