Through all their efforts, the Eagles lost to Park Tudor 14-8. BEFORE the game, fes- tivities were kicked off with a parade through town with the marching Frankton Eagle Band, the class floats and then the four homecoming queen candidates, and their proud escorts riding in their convertibles. The candidates for queen were: Cindy Ritchie es- corted by Mark Reece, Diane Roland escorted by Nick Hart, Chris Way- mire and her escort Jim Feight, and Renee Horn with her escort, Steve Quear. THE half-time highlights was the presentation of a trophy to the class of 1974 and the FFA for their outstanding floats. Next was the crowning of 1972 homecoming queen, Diane Roland. She was given a bouquet of roses and was the center of at- traction the remainder of the evening at the home- coming dance. The guys and gals, ready for an evening of relaxation took off their shoes and danced to the sound of Morning Glory . Student Life-15

RAINY NIGHT BRINGS DEFEAT THE excitement of home- coming brought activities such as pep sessions, hard football practices, working on floats for each class and not knowing about any other float, only their own. On October 5, night before homecoming was a pep rally in the school parking lot. This included such activities as a bonfire, hot dogs and cake for hungry spiritsters, a rousing speech by Coach Ice and the burning of a Panther as a sign of a victory for the Eagles. THEN came the Snake Dance where the football guys were trying to have their fun before the big game the next night. All the guys jumped on the firetruck while the foot- ball cheerleaders and fans followed behind building up the boys' con- fidence, yelling and cheering them on. With all the frustration and ex- citement, the big night came where FHS met the Park Tudor Panthers at 7:30. The weather was rainy but the mighty Eagles kept on.
