Bi -.r 11 JF' all We W1 As a sign of our times, the flower children staged a demonstration at the Coronation aud. Many long hours were spent by WHS students on club floats and homeroom displays. Reflections on Falcon Days '67 by Debbie Burns Red balloons, an early white snow, and lingering patches of green grass, framed the muddy gridiron at Brady Street Stadium the night the West High Falcons played their 1967 Falcon Days game. The Falcons met the East Moline Panthers in a game which resulted in a 1961-7 victory for West. This was just one of many events that marked the celebration of the seventh annual Falcon Days. Couples danced the following evening, Oct. 28, in the WHS cafeteria amidst prize- winning displays and club floats. To reign over West's homecoming, Queen Vicki Smith, and her two attendants. Tony Rossow, and Kris Smith were elected by the student body. These girls were the chosen three out ofthe ten finalists who were nom- inated by the senior class. The other seven girls were Sandie Alger, Chris Allsbrow, Lorie Day, Becky Dyer, Julie Hagel, Sally Hogue and Sally Schick.
