Each class built its float around the theme of Goal Rush of ’64.” Much to the seniors’ dismay the sophomore class took home the winning float title. Amidst the confusion, crowns were passed to and fro. Mr. and Miss School Spirit, Bob Pederson and Sherry Blackman were crowned, while also, at the pep rally, the Coming Home King and Queen were announced. Highlighting the homecoming activities was the proclamation of Homecoming Queen, Janice McLellan.

Many participants were somewhat relieved to see the closing of Homecoming Week and yet some seniors realized with regret that this was their last.
