The sale of Falcon Days' booster buttons, depicting a shield with Freddie and the Assumption Knight, financed most ofthe week's activities. 2. Following the traditional events of a political year was the election of Sally Dannacher to reign as queen of homecoming festivities. Unique to this year's election was the selection of four attendants instead of the customary two. Serving as attendants were Karin Avelchas, Sue Keim, Debbie Malstrom and Shelly Smith. The other nomi- nees of the royal court included Judy Beckford, Kitty Clausen, Lois Jacobs, Pam Liedtke, lulie Oakley, jenny Spencer and Anne Stewart. 3. The party's convention took place Oct. 16 at the Queen Coronation Aud. The WHS Thespians entertained the royalty with a skit based on a convention theme with appro- priate music provided by the a Cappella and orchestra. 4. Individual homerooms worked diligently at the grass roots level to construct displays based on the political theme. The members of Homeroom 117 won the sweepstakes award with their Women's Suffrage display. First place winners in other categories were: Most Original, Homeroom 111, Win With FFF , Most Humorous, Homeroom 223, Boss Tweedy Falcon , and Most Artistic, Homeroom 121, Headlines of the Future. 5. The float parade Oct. 18 brought rewards to several clubs and organizations for their hard work. The Girls' Recreation Association CGRAJ captured the sweepstakes award for floats with a cash prize of 515. ln the other categories, first places went to Latin Club, Most Original, Art Club, Most Artistic, and French Club, Best Student Partici- pation. 6. The platform's only defective plank was the 7-0 loss of the football game Oct. 17 at Brady St. Staduim. The Falcons fought a scoreless battle against the Assumption Knights until their last play when a Knight intercepted a pass and ran for a 66 yard touch- down. 7. The Falcon Days' Party ended the week's campaign with a dance in the cafeteria Oct. 18 from 8-11:30. Decorations reflecting the political atmosphere were kept simple with the Democratic donkey and the Republican elephant used throughout. I8
