She was crowned ' last Friday at the climax of the Coronation Ball. The Coronation Ball was held among streamers of purple and pillars of white. The crowd danced to the music of "The Four Sounds". Also crowned last Friday were Mary Germer as first attendant and Eileen Kelly as second attendant. The Homecoming royality was given one dozen red roses and a trophy each. Nancy Stromberg, Homecoming queen for this year is an English major. Nancy is a Junior this year. "I love outdoor sports, especially water skiing, tennis, horseback riding and skiing." Nancy also says, "I was especially excited to be crowned queen because Leslie Taylor and I are friends and there is no one else I would rather have crowned me." Some of the activities that the girls will be present at are: The Feline Follies, the lighting of the W.S., the fireworks and the Stomp, The Four Freshman Concert, the Alumni Banquet on Friday where the officers will escort the royalty, the parade on Saturday.

She also gets very excited over track. "I was really surprised because I'm not that type. I was shocked but happily surprised." I was also honored to have been put up for Homecoming Queen bytheLDSSA because I respect what they are trying to do here on campus. I was very honored." Mary also says, "I'm really scared because I don't know how to parade wave. The girl that was first attendant last year told me that she was going to teach me how to parade wave. "I also love the freshmen because they're much goodness. I also was excited to have seen the Feline Follies." Lighting the WS In spite of bad luck, a broken down generator, and the scheming plots of some local fraternities, the annual Homecoming tradition of the lighting of the WS was carried off Monday night recreating the blazing symbol of Weber State College on the mountainside. Due to the efforts of Dave Hardman, Howard Collett, and the Union Games and Recreation Committee, the WS will be lit every night this week, marking the first year that both letters have been turned on each night during the entire Homecoming Week. The truck carrying the 5,000 watt generator whichprovides electricity for 100 light bulbs creating the letters broke down halfway up the mountain; causing the delay in lighting. Fireworks described as "spectacular, colorful, and explosive" inspired awe in the students of Weber State. In the good old Fourth of July tradition, rockets and fountains exploded in a myriad of colors, kicking off Homecoming Week with a bang. Some students "kicked" off the week in their own way Monday night at the outdoor-turned-indoor stomp. Because of the cold weather outside stomp-goers were turned indoors. The chilly autumn weather didn't dampen the spirits of the stompers. The spirit of Homecoming was evident in the crowd which was near cafeteria-capacity.Monday nights activities started off the events which will continue throughout the week. Saturday, the Homecoming parade and football game will climax the five-day celebration. Sunday has been set aside for rest and recuperation for students, faculty, and alumni alike. 1 I . -. . : x, V-3 -: II LVA .,' MAAAcV:' - s )) ... , . , - ri v -- I iA -"i' - -A " ',, f . , ( i' nA -rr r- ; i - !: ' i y-s V t 1 ; .
