. . . success were determined to have it down- town,” expressed Renee Boivin. As a tradition, the CHS Home- coming parade once again visited the downtown streets of Clear- water on the Friday afternoon of the football game. The parade consisted of the winning float created by the senior class, the band, decorated cars and trucks, and the Homecoming court. Gray clouds filled the sky an hour before the game commenced. The clouds burst open and it rained heavily the entire evening. Dis- appointed students congregated under the stadium praying that the rain would stop by half- time. Football players sloshed around on a muddy field while the cheerleaders jumped in ankle-deep puddles. The half- time show was cancelled, therefore creating questions that required quick answers. Mr. Don Collins and the Home- coming court gathered in the locker room to discuss the plans for halftime. As the Homecoming court emerged onto the track, the stands slowly filled with curious spectators. Rain ponchos protected the guys as they escorted the girls whose dresses dragged in mud puddles. With an umbrella over her head, Gaye Anderson was crowned queen. Despite the bad weather, the football team received a winning score of 22 - 18 . A few changes were made for the benefit of the Home- coming dance. Usually, the (continued) Sophomore David Aronoff proudly escorts the freshman representative, Joy Palmieri, on the night of Tornado Tales. ► ◄ During halftime, junior Beth Bradley and Terry Griggley show their Tornado pride.

However, this year the dance was on Saturday night from 7 o’clock to midnight. The band, “Buck Wheat” was chosen at the Kapok Tree Inn to pro- vide the musical entertainment for the evening. “The Kapok Tree Inn was a good place to have the dance. I was really surprised that everyone danced and had such a good time,” stated Jill Bax, a senior representative on the court. The night was filled with adverse conditions, but the rain failed to dampen the spirits of the mighty Tornadoes. The majority of the students felt that Homecoming was quite a success. By JANE STEINER The tension eased as sophomore Colleen Hynds’ and Tom Kane’s names were announced as one of the two sophomore representatives. ▼ A A wet Homecoming evening is just one more very special date for junior representative Erin Brasfield and senior Tyler Rice.
