IRIT HIGH DESPITE LOSS Amidst a chilly, clear star- lit night, the 1973 annual homecoming celebration took place. Spirit prevailed, though the Trojan grid suffered a 21- 7 loss by defending city cham- pions, the Bishop Luers Knights. Despite mud and chill, an abundant enthusiastic crowd attended the game. However, dampness prevented the band from marching, causing the Trojan musicians to perform in the stands. Volunteer homecoming com- mittee members, after taking up a schoolwide collection to- taling over $125, provided de- corations for the evening fes- tivities. Highlighting halftime activities was the coronation of 1973 Homecoming Queen, sen- iorCindy Hunt.
