AESTHETICS OF HOMECOMING COMPETITION 7ime, effort, and a lot of imagina- tion were ingredients of this year's floats. Using Free Spirit of the Desertf' as a theme, classes started working toward the impending com- petition. Afternoons and late eve- nings were reserved for working on the floats. Various materials were used, ranging from news, crepe and toilet papers to chicken wire. Work became tedious, and a few classes thought they would not finish in time, yet students still managed to make working on the floats a lot of fun. Unveiling of finished floats occured during Homecoming,s afternoon parade Later, senior class efforts were awarded during the half-time of the Homecoming Game when their win was announced. 4 Freshly hatched freshman float competes in Homecoming competition.

Spirit Week provided opportunities for individuals and classes to develop school wide spirit and unity. Individuals attired them- selves in ornate garb celebrating each of the five days. Flappers, mobsters, rockers, unwieldy boots,', clowns and hobos, and Reverend Sparkman's black clad following of mourners,' were seen and heard. Class competition featured gastronomic themes again . . . pie eating, peanut roll, and lifesaver pass, to name a few. Seniors were selected as competition winners. Spirited blue and golders spirited the Eagles' gridders over a beleaguerd Webb team. Not to be overlooked were after school and halftime parades, and the selection of Carolyn Wallace as Homecoming Queen. Students, fused as one spirit, danced to a senior hosted, KPSI disc-jockeyed dance Saturday night at Lake Tamarisk.
