In any experience there is always something that is more memorable than all the other facets, something that stands out and is per- manently affixed in the mind ' s memory. Homecom- ing is one such experience. The Queen, her expression of surp ise, and all the ex- citement of the occasion easily comes to mind with the mention of Homecom- ing. The Miss Warwick Pageant is a similar experi- ence only on a broader scale since twenty-five girls are involved. And who can forget Raider Week? A smashed up Ford Galaxie, Twerp and Revenge Day, mix-matched outfits and a two hour pep assembly all in one week tend to inscribe themselves in one ' s mind. And finally what senior can recall his Senior year with- out somewhere mentioning prom night? Each of these activities are very different in many respects. After all, one hardly mentions a pie- throwing contest and prom in the same breath, but even with all their differences, there is something that ties them all together. They ' re extras. They ' re the special things that people re- member. HIGHLIGHTS Mike in hand, Tim Boddie sings The Way We Were at the annual Spring Talent Show. The Talent Show was a special program sponsored by the S.C.A., netting $ 550 . 6

Candid shots of Pat Baals catch the homecoming queen expressing her views in a classroom discussion. njartwroe Attention focused straight ahead, Cathy Spady, with her escort from Bethel, Greg Day, gazes from her spot on the stage into the audience. Making their debut, the Drama Department pre- sented a farce on homecom- ing. The band supplied the music for the court ' s proces- sion both at the assembly and the game. With the homecoming game the main highlight of October 5, spirits were high for a victory. Pem- broke put up a good fight and the game ended with a tied score of 21-21. The band played patriotic selec- tions and a special song de- dicated to the homecoming queen, Pat Baals. Q. Pat, what was it like to become Homecoming Queen? A. It was a shock. I was happy and excited. It made me feel humble because I wasn ' t used to being pointed out by so many familiar and unfamiliar faces. Q. Do you agree with the es- say method for choosing the queen? A. I think it ' s a good idea. When you get on court, stu- dents choose you, but writ- ing an essay, you ' re on your own. Q. Did you enjoy the assem- bly? A. I liked everything — espe- cially the Earles of Warwick. The nicest part . . . when people clapped because I realized that I had so many friends that really cared for me. Q. How did you like the dance? A. The dance should have been after the game. You never would have known it was a homecoming dance, there was no honor to the court. Q. The game? A. I was proud of the team ' cause we didn ' t lose and the band was great. But I ' ll al- ways remember the theme the way we were. I liked having my sister Donna on the court to share the ex- citement of that night. The best part was having my friends meet me at the gate. I even got to hug the policeman. 8
