Homecoming Week: Festivities Begin With Dress- Up Day Bow ties, patched jeans, red socks, and safari hots represented just a part of Homecoming Week. The festivities began with Wednesday designated as dress-up day. Wearing suits and dresses, nearly all participated. Dress- down day found even teachers attired in jeans and T-shirts. Friday was hat day and the parade. Everyone dug out his favorite hat and wore it for the day. Parading the field Friday, the floats submitted various views of the theme Traces of Time. After the parade, gag gifts were given to the football players. Though it roined for the parade, the sky cleared for the game. During half- time, trophies and plaques were awarded to the best floats. The top float trophy was awarded to the senior float. Plaques also went to the best group, American Field Service, and to the best homerooms. Covered with plastic, a float waits to be pulled in the parade. Twinned up for dress-down day, iunior Yulonda Singleton and senior Don Taylor catch a moment between classes together. Starting a new tradition, Scott Weber and juniors Derek Paris, Randy Smith, and Domingo Alvarez participate in dress-up day.
