Floats, Royalty, Clowns, etc. wAi.kiNe IN RHYTHM lr is said that everyone marches to the beat of a different drum. But in a parade, everyone marches to the same beat with several different drums. Marching bands were however, only one of many interests in the homecoming parade. lt was chock-full of dazzle in all shapes and forms. One thing followed another, floats, cars, trucks, clowns, etc. There was enough to keep the eye hopping during the whole parade. There was so much in the parade, ca dence ika'd'nsy, n. iME.g ult. L. cadens, ppr. ot cadere, to tally, 1. tall ofthe voice in speaking. 2. flow ot rhythm. 3. measured movement, as in dancing or marching, or the beat of such movement. 4. inflection or modulation in tone. 5. in music, aj the harmonic ending, final trill, etc. of a phrase or movement. bl a cadenza. even the kitchen sink might have slipped by without anyone noticing it! From its beginning up until its end, the parade was a fanfare of color. s Whatever one desired was offered: Beautiful girls, fantastic cars, colorful floats, and most important--thrown candy! The homecoming parade was the embodiment of the school spirit with plenty of action, glamor and entertainment. . Kendell Thompson
