Andy dubbed Knight. “Carry my books, let me in the lunch line first, and sharpen my pencil” were just a few of the cries heard by many chivalrous girls when Twirp Days came to Whitmer. On these days, the usual courtesies given to girls were extended to the boys. A Midwinter Knight’s Dream, the annual turn¬ about dance, topped off this hectic reversal. The dance was held in the cafeteria decorated with hearts and red and white streamers. Andy DelRe, our foreign exchange student, was dubbed Knight of the dance by Dawn O’Neil, 1965 Homecoming Queen. Rich Otte was announced as first runner-up and Tom Reed as second runner-up to the Knight. The junior and sopho¬ more classes were represented by Squires Ned Jepson and Denver Beck. Entertainment was provided by the Biscaynes. Elections chairman Patti Welch watches Andy DelRe kneel before Homecoming Queen Dawn O’Neil as she dubs him Knight of the 1966 Turnabout.
