Homecoming, the Patrade, serving food in the home econom ic department Friday night and, then our Women's Club dinner with Pat Taylor Saturday night! BirtJ it was all fun and a good time was had by all, I hope, at all functions. The seniors worked like beav ers on their float and I thought ours was the best, but the judgesl Ithought otherwise, so we go by what the decision is and show good sportsmanship in any endea vor. Congratulations to the j unions. and their sponsors, Mrs. Sprinkle, Coaches Reeves and Cole. And a big thanks to Miss IMeinimons and those who helped on the senior float; namely, Alan Payne, Daris Ajnderson, Connie Slagle, Sandra Hunter, Karen Robinson, James Haynie, and too many others to name. I'm sure the game was most ex citing and the girls were lovely in. the court with the two queens, Joyce Goforth, Homecoming queen. and Judy Buckner, Football queen. And the other members of the court were Ruth Ann Cantredl, Brenda Bryan and Dolores lirad- ley. We were so busy getting hxxtl dogs,haimburgers, etc., ready to eat that some of us didn't see any of the game nor the crowning cer emony. I enjoyed the parade and thought the North Buncombe band was very good and the crowd did also. We really had a big time Sat urday night at the Democratic Women's Clulb dinner. You should have seem Mrs. Whitson bringing her "Lennon Sisters" in by spread ing bubbles from a jar as she eaime to the podium. She was so cute fts were Liatrelle, Hill, Carol arodi Marie. And the men, bless their (hearts, were just as cute giving their all as the "Mills Brothers!" Not one of thean could carry a tune in a bucket and you should have heard Tom ask for greater vohiime on the guitar so as to drown them out! With him were Zeno, Bill, and Jacia"'wttin: my George (im agine) directing them! We heard some excellent talks from Pat Taylor, Laimar Gmdger and Congressman Roy A. Taylor. We had over 300 there and every one seeaied to enjoy the evineng to the fullest extent. I don't be lieve thete has ever been such a large crowd in the cafeteria at one time before! In the receiving line I was trying to check each person's name tags before introducing him, tq Lamar Gudger and one time I couldn't make out the name very well and looked at the person and! it was Mrs. Carroll Tweed! Haidf 1 looked at the person first, I woulldh"t have needed to bother toj look at her tag! But when you try ito introduce 300 people to a guest speaker it takes a bit of quick thinking and remembering. OBSERVED Of course in recognizing all the special guests I forgot to mention Eldridge andl Ann Leake who came from Ra leigh, David and Willa Ann Wy Btt from Gaston County, Council man Clarence E.
