Two Homecoming Queens Reign
Jann Jolley
The tradition and formality is the best part of Homecoming for queen Jann Jolley. Feeling that each year the campus should strive to make the event even more special, this I 969 Homecoming queen would recommend that the role of the queen be changed to include representing the school at more functions.
A junior English major, Jann wants to teach high school or maybe junior college when she graduates. Having had excellent English teachers in high school, she wants to help others enjoy English as much as she does.
Besides being head cheerleader, Jann is a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha social sorority. For relaxation she likes to water ski, go horseback riding and sing. Getting to know people as individuals is her favorite pastime.
