! i Homecoming Queen nominees, vying for the coveted Falcon Days' crown, were: Sandy Rynor, Barb Hennings, Marya Booth, Sue Timm, lllarsha Murphy, Kathy Brady, Connie Keim, Barb Aronson, Jan Blake, and Sue Hudson. Ten senior girls, nominated as Falcon Days Queen candidates, September 15, were presented in an aud September 24. The nominees included: Barb Aronson, Jan Blake, Marya Booth, Kathy Brady, Barb Hennings, Sue Hudson, Connie Keim, Marsha Murphy, Sandy Ry- nor, and Sue Timm. From these ten, Sandy Rynor was elected Queen, and Jan Blake and Barb Hennings were named as her attendants. Falcon Days buttons were sold in homerooms from September 24 to October 2. Each year a contest is held for those students wishing to create a Falcon Days button to be used to promote participation in Homecoming festivities and to increase school spirit for the football game. The regulations on floats and hall displays under- went a series of changes this year, due partly to the theme of this year's Falcon Days Circus, and partly because of new safety regulations which pro- hibited the use of the flammable materials. The collages, as they were called, required much artistic ability and creativity. Floats were judged more on the people participating, rather than on the floats themselves. Utilizing the circus theme, West students devised costumes both comical and original, making the floats very interesting. Faculty advisor Harold Keller helped construct decor! tions for the Falcon Days' dance.
