Homecoming included many festivities. The fourteen candidates were announced at a pep rally and then participated in the traditional Homecoming parade Oct. 7. The coronation of Homecoming royalty was held at the Columbus vs. Hastings football game. Crowned queen was Sandi Bede, with Brian Bullington being crowned king.
