Members of AP f radio and TV vote Watergate as top news story In their annual poll, editors and news directors of Associated Press and radio and TV stations, selected Watergate and three other related news items among the 10 top stories of 1974. The three were Ford ' s par- don of Richard Nixon, the Democratic sweep in the November elections and Nelson Rockefeller ' s nomination for vice president of the United States. Besides Watergate the top 10 stories in order of their selection, were Economy— Inflation rose above 10 per cent and the business decline which began in January became a recession by fall. Energy crisis— The oil embargo ended in March but the cost of petroleum continued to rise steadily. Patricia Hearst was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army and later be- came a member in the guerilla group. President Gerald Ford, on September 8, gave former President Nixon a free, full and absolute pardon in regard to the Watergate scandal. In the November elections, the Democrats took nearly every office. Number seven of the list was Secretary of State Henry Kissinger ' s effort toward a peace agreement in the Middle East. Draft resistors and deserters of the Viet- nam war period were granted conditional amnesty by President Ford. The eruption in Cyprus— The Greek-spon- sored coup against President Makarios led to the invasion of the island by Turks. Ford ' s nomination of Nelson A. Rocke- feller plus the disclosure of Rockefeller ' s wealth and gift-giving were the last stories of 1974 to be chosen in the top 10.

Exhibition of various attire given by students during Homecoming week ANNE HOFFMAN GAZES dreamingly at Mike Fetzer. This typical senior couple of the ' 50s could have been found all around Warren on Nostalgia Day . SENIORS MARK NYIKOS and Pat Me- Shay, along with Rick Shumar, junior, went to great lengths to follow the trend on Dress-Up Day. Contrary to past homecomings. Home- coming 1974 was much more exciting. In comparison, activities took place all week instead of only on the day of the game. Activities included dress days in which students donned a particular style. There was also a parade, dance and pep session. Monday was Dress-Down Day followed by Dress-Up, Nostalgia, Jersey and Black and Gold, respectively. Nearly all of the students participated by conforming to each dress day. On Dress-Down Day students dressed in their crummiest clothes. Dress-Up Day was quite the opposite. Girls wore formals and nice dresses and guys wore tuxedos and suits. On Nostalgia Day there was an array of clothes from the 1890s to the 1950s. Everyone had on jerseys from several different schools on Jersey Day. School spirit was shown Homecoming Day with students in black and gold attire. On the night before Homecoming, there was a dance in the cafeteria. The live band was composed of Warren graduates Scott McKenzie, Bart Ping, Larry Sauer and Tom 20 Homecoming Smith.
