HOMECOMING A FALL THEME DOMINATES HOMECOMING FESTIVITIES Homecoming, the highlight of fall ' s activities, was met with contagious enthusiasm by the student body. In keeping with tradition, the Monogram Club present ed thirteen senior girls, and our foreign exchange student as Honor Attendant, to the assembly as the 1971 Homecoming Court. The girls broke tradition, however, by wearing suits and mums instead of the usual for- mals. Queen Susan Cunningham, King Boozie Daulton, Princess Marilyn Lee and Prince Steve Crawford reigned over the remainder of the assembly which included the Chorale ' s presentation of several up-tempo arrange¬ ments, including Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head , Bridge Over Troubled Water , Both Sides Now , and Traces . With a final promenade of the gym, the Homecoming Court retired to their cars for the parade through Salem.

VICTORY AND ELATION END HOMECOMING Much screaming and total confusion then reigned for a few minutes until parade marshal Bill Ryan ar¬ ranged floats in proper order and saw to it that everyone was on the proper vehicle. The procession moved off to the snappy rhythm of the band, recalling fond memories of past homecomings in the minds of the alumni. The many hours of hard work was very evident as the floats and cars passed. First prize winner was, appropriately, the sen¬ ior float, and second and third prizes went to the sophomores and the juniors respectively. A quick trip home for dinner and then off to the football game which ended on a triumphant note as the Wolverines whipped the Martins¬ ville Bulldogs 24-6. Highlighting half¬ time activities was the presentation of the Homecoming court and special performance by Mr. Dennis Reaser, Band Director, and Mr. Jimmy Simms, Supervisor of Music, with the active backing of the Pride of Salem . Then the seniors took over and managed to form a slightly crooked ' 71 as the band played the Alma Mater . The following night, the Key Club sponsored the dance held in the cafeteria. Attendance was excellent and the Premiers Ltd. proved to be a superb choice for the entertain¬ ment. As the weekend drew to a close, students retired exhausted but happy, knowing that Homecoming ' 71 was, naturally, the best! 18
