Travelers' Tales Lures Thunderbirds to Faraway Lands Taking revenge on their teachers, students flocked to F.T.A.'s booth. Another letterman takes an icy plunge into C-Club's dunking trough. .--ami rw LONDON, PARIS, and Rome were only a few of the destinations vicariously reached by Wasson students and alumni at the 1967 Homecoming pageant, Travelers Tales. Assuming a unique theme of travel, the evening's activities commenced with the time-honored class competition. The seniors, who proved to be tough competition for the juniors and sophomores, swept a field of six events, featuring Volkswagen stuffing, a person pass, and a nine- legged race. To add to the occasion, Nlr. H. G. Christiansen was presented the Outstanding Educator Award. The pageant ended with Sandy Strickland being crowned queen. In keeping with the travel theme, the carnival showed that lt's a Small World. An assortment of twenty-one booths was highlighted by C-Club's dunking trough, Cabinet's raceways, and F.S.A.'s prize-winning pinball machines. As a fitting climax to 1967 Homecoming week, the Thunderbirds' victory over Pueblo Central was celebrated at the dance, Distant Dreams. Wasson's newly crowned queen begins her ride around the stadium.
