Jill Kunkel Reigns as Homecoming Queen Sparking the season with glamour and pageantry was the festive spirit of Homecoming 1967. The energy and enthusiasm generated by both teams and spectators at the Whitehall-North-ampton football game October 7 was vividly contrasted by a gala atmosphere of expectancy and excitement. Speculation had reached its peak at half-time as Mark Abbott proclaimed Jill Kunkel Homecoming Queen. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Suzanne Sell, 1966 queen, crowned Jill and presented her with a bouquet of bright yellow roses. “It was one of the wonderful experiences of my life, said the new queen. “I'll never forget the thrill I felt when my name was announced. Prior to the announcement the eight candidates and six underclassman attendants circled the field in convertibles during the band's performance of Pomp and Circumstance.” Members of the Victor Riesel Chap- ter of Quill and Scroll Society decorated the stands and cars early the same morning. The cars were borrowed from local dealers. Chairman of the planning committee was senior Susan Longenecker. Queen candidates and court attendants were nominated by the varsity football squad. The queen was chosen at the pre-game dance Friday evening in the cafeteria by Owl subscribers. Dick's Greenhouse in Fullerton donated all flowers for the occasion.
