The 1977 Homecoming mixed in new twists along with the fine traditions. Events took place each of the five days with something for everyone. The activities began Monday night with a rowdy game of powder puff football, which fielded all-girl teams clad in jeans and football jerseys. The hitting was kept to a minimum by the use of flags rather than actual tackling. But that is not to say that the action was held to a minimum, and the new event provided plenty of laughs and excitement. For many people, Tuesday, the day of the Coronation aud, was the day of Homecoming week. On the previous Wednesday, thirteen girls nominated by the senior class were presented to the student body. Now that number had been narrowed to five finalists: Sue Murphy, Chris Sammon, Deb Tanner, Wendy De- Frieze and Steph Byrne. After presenting the other eight girls, the finalists' names were called. Each time a candidate's name was spoken, a drum roll and screams from the audience built the ten- sion. Finally, Deb Tanner was named the queen. As she was crowned by Dr. John- son, a standing ovation by the students demonstrated their approval. Brady Street Stadium was the action place for the Friday night football game against the Moline Maroons. The Falcons were unsuccessful in their attempt for a victorious homecoming game.
