Roses, brightly colored streamers, and spirited Rockets compose a Parade of pride As the traditional homecoming rain fell on the football field, king and queen candidates awaited that special announcement of who would reign as the 1982 royal pair. The announcer proclaimed Lana Rose the queen and Fred Garrett as king. Although the game, parade, and dance were the high points of homecoming, much more went into it than what was seen Oct. 15. Clubs wishing to participate in the parade through Broad Rip ple Village had to come up with slogans, float committees, and king and queen nominees. Once they had been chosen, the candidates began their campaigns for votes. Float committees found the cars in which their nominees would ride during the parade. Meanwhile, club members did their part by assembling floats and decorating cars. Students showed school pride during Spirit Week by participating in special days. Then came homecoming day and a pep session, which was only the beginning. The parade, with the winning float by Key Club and the winning car by DECA, followed. The game was won by Warren Central, 28-14. Then students attended the Homecoming Dance ... or went out with friends. The homecoming grind was over, but not soon forgotten. PROUDLY SHOWING OFF, the Lettermen ' s Club float moved through the Broad Ripple neighborhood. NERVOUSLY WAITING TO be introduced, the queen and king candidates file into the homecoming pep session.
