On a brisk Thursday night rather late in September, kickoff activities began with a parade down Main Street. Wind- ing its way to and around Rice Field, the procession found its way off the track only minutes before senior girls were scheduled to show the guys how the game of football should be played.

EHS played Adams that night and lost. It was a loss harder to take than most, but everyone man- aged to recover in time to enjoy them- selves at the homecoming dance.
