Homecoming hysteria hits Old friends embraced, a new queen was crowned and the football team won the big game. Students paraded across town and later danced the night away at the homecoming dance. But before all that happened, Ripplites had to spend cold nights in garages planning and building floats. The football team had to psych itself up to face the favored Northwest Pioneers. Homecoming involvement ranged from campaigning for candidates to selling mums. Even Mrs. Dearing, head counselor, stashed food in her office for the pregame corndog dinner. Originally, the activities were to be done after school. But as the deadline approached, teachers found fewer students in the classroom and more on the practice football field placing finishing touches on cars and floats. The halls of Broad Ripple became even more crowded, with the last- minute plan-making of students. The pep session only increased the suspense as students wondered who would win best float, who would be king and queen and, ultimately, which team would become the victor in the evening ' s game.
