student Council creates a fantastic Homecoming A bitter, twenty-degree night, class floats, nervous queen candidates, Jan Simons, and an enthusiastic crowd and team, add up to only one event — Homecoming ' 74. Preparations for Homecoming 1 974 by the Student Council finally became reality on October 1 8 after many long hours of hard work and planning. Although the budget limited elaborate festivities, student involvement was at its peak Friday. During halftime, a new tradition mingled with the old as Jenny Golden was crowned by last year ' s queen, Jon Simons. The top award went to the Freshman class In float competition. After the halftime ceremonies, the football team returned to the field to face the strong East Noble Knights who defeated the Hornets 1 4- 7. ■ 1 m Hi K« - B J 1 K V H I ' miP O ' •1 w 9 i Hk iIsiHl m ( } 11 li.

RISING MONEY PINCH The American economy crawled under the effects of both inflation and recession as prices clim- bed and numerous men and women stood in unemployment lines. In October President Ford urged a 5% surcharge in additional taxes to fight inflation after refusing to identify the depressed eco- nomic state as a recession. Then in January he turned around to estoblish tax cuts in his new pro- gram. Nationally, large businesses suffered tremendousl . The output of goods and services declined. The auto industry sales decreased by more than 307o, and the overall unemployment rate was the highest in thirteen years at 8.2%. In the grocery stores 5 pound bags of sugar reached record prices, sometimes selling for as high as $3.59. Locally, recession and inflation touched many Angola residents. The decline in the auto industry also caused workers at Weatherheod to be layed off. High school and college students found jobs nearly impossible to obtain. The money pinch continued within the walls of Angola High School as students and teachers found that extra spending money wasn ' t as plentiful as it hod been in pre- vious years. - li $20.00 Special low cost film PLUS 25C GW SUGAR COUPON FOR .
