Homecoming: It Was a Special Victory. Wamego High School celebrated its 1971 Homecoming on October 1. Pre-game festivities included a parade down mainstreet and the announcement of the float winners. Along with the thrills of leading at half, 14-0 against Atchison, the excitement for Wamego mounted when the queen candidates were escorted onto the field by their fathers. While the Pep Club anxiously waited, Mr. Trimmell escorted 1970 Homecoming Queen, Linda Herman, onto the field. The scene was set for the crowning of the new queen. After what seemed like hours of suspense, the queen and her attendants were announced. Miss Cathy Miller was crowned 1971 Football Homecoming Queen. Her attendants were Jan Gros, Debbie Grothe, Brynn Stewart, and Teresa White. Queen Cathy reigned over the Raider victory. The final score was 14-8. After the game, the Queen and her attendants were honored at a Homecoming Dance. Music was provided by Quick City.

A new addition to the Vocal Music Department was the formation of a Girls Ensemble and a Boys En- semble. In addition, there was also Boys Glee, Girls Glee, Mixed Chorus, and Mixed Ensemble. These groups performed at the Fall, Christmas, and Spring Con- certs. Girls Glee, Boys Glee, and Mixed Chorus helped the Wamego High School Band perform a half time show during one of the foot- ball games. Mixed Ensemble performed for the Girls Service Club's Parent-Daughter Banquet and for various other organizations throughout the year. Mixed Chorus was a class, but Girls Glee and Boys Glee met during activity periods twice a week. Students in other ensembles or singing groups spent much of their own time in preparing for concerts. Music groups spent most of their time preparing for upcoming con- certs. When the conceit time came members found they needed all the time they had. The Music Department had a busy year, and Mrs. Connie Galle, Vocal Music instructor, said, I'm proud of the students. i
