The biggest event on the E. H. S. school calendar more than lived up to expectations! The many planning, decorating, and entertainment committees all helped to make this a bang-up celebration. "Rush 'Em With Ruhsam" was chosen as our slogan for this year and adorned our Homecoming pins, which were students Admission Badges to all the festivities. Strut and Fret Club directed all Homecoming events. On Thursday night the Bonfire and Snake Dance were held and, being the night before-Homecoming, a lot of pep was shown by the students. Talks were given by the Senior football players and coaches, and pep-yells and songs made the night air ring with enthusiasm. Coach Dave Ruhsam introduced the Homecoming Royalty - Queen Doris Eaton, King Ralph Lindstrom, Attendants Arlene Wiskerchen and Don Murphy, Carol Place and Ronnie Anderson. Following the Bonfire the cheerleaders led the Snake Dance through Ellsworth to East End and back. After this exertion the "kids" crashed the gates at the theatre for the late movie. At last Friday came - the day everyone had been looking forward to! The stu- dents were busy in the forenoon, putting the finishing touches on their floats. At two- thirty everyone reported to the gym for the biggest pep-meeting of the year, which consisted of a "Midget Quartette" pep stunt, talks, formal introduction of the royalty, and more songs and yells. After the pep-rneeting students lined up their floats in front of school and the impressive parade began, led by the band, the majorettes and cheerleaders, and continuing to East Ellsworth. Every club and class was represented by a float, making one of the biggest and best parades in E. H. S. history. The Queen and her Royal Court rode in state on the beautifully decorated Strut and Fret float. The Seniors took first prize on their float, and the Juniors second. Float chairmen were: - Seniors - Mary Jane Haessly, Juniors - Jim Quinn. Next on our busy program was the event which all the others had been leading up to - the GAME! Our team, which had won from all opponents so far, was finally taken by the powerful Menomonie team, 7-0. Our boys put up a wonderful fight, how- ever, and every Homecoming fan was justly proud of our outstandingly "game" team. A very large crowd attended the Homecoming Dance, held in the attractively arrayed gymnasium after the game. Those attending danced to the music of "The Falconaires", an excellent orchestra from R. F. S. T. C. At eleven P. M. Coach Ruhsam crowned Queen Doris and King Ralph at the throne platform along the south wall. Refreshments were served throughout the dance, which continued until midnight. All in all, our 1949 Homecoming celebration proved to be a lot of work, and a lot more fun! ! It was one we'll remember for a long time! Courtesy of J. C. Penney Store, Red Wing 41 l.

The weather played a big part in the final outcome of the game as the mud and a stiff wind limited both team's passing attacks However the game proved to an interesting one as both teams knew it was The One they had to win Menomonie took no chances and scored their line touchdown in the first quarter looking far superior to the E H S. eleven This touchdown seemed to pep the Panthers up and now they began to play ball some what up to par The rest of the game was pretty much of a standstill as neither team became a scoring threat.
