Homecoming Events Of Past Revived Student council’s careful planning for Home- coming led to a week full of activities, many of them new or reinstated. From September 22 to 27 the Raiders prepared to “Nuke New Rich- mond”. Students arrived Monday morning to find three magnificent class posters adorning the commons. Monday was also sock and shoe day. This guaranteed 100% student participation. That night was the show-down between the senior and junior girls in the reinstated powder puff football game. The senior girls proved dominant in the game and “nuked” the juniors with a 28 to 0 victory. Tuesday was devoted to wigs and make-up. There were a few old men and blond “sweet- hearts” roaming the halls. Wednesday was backwards day. On Thursday wild cowboys gal- loped through the halls. Blue and white clothing were the predominate colors on Friday as stu- dents made their way to Newton field for the pep fest and class competition. Students were greeted at the field with music pouring out of the P.A. Dianne Harden was the M.C. of the day. Seniors took a big first place in the obstacle course. Next came a wheel-barrow race and the balloon toss which nearly ended in a water war between classes in the stands. The sophomores humiliated the upperclassmen by triumphing in the tug of war, but were put in their place trying to beat the faculty. Finally the decorated cars appeared, added this year “on probation”. The juniors drove away with the car judged best. 16 - Homecoming

The indespensible number jersey; never out of date, as number “ten” here demonstrates. 4. Tee-shirts advertising a favorite athletic store were also popular this year. Fashions The guys were effected little by 5th Avenue dictum, and the athletic look triumphed once again this year. Blue jeans and cords topped comfortable NIKES, and cowboy boots. Tops varied only so far as to what was printed on them. Number jerseys and tee-shirts advertising a favorite athletic store were big hits. As many people attended the rock concerts, shirts printed with various rock groups became numerous, a notable difference in styles from the sober suits, ties, and wing tip shoes of a century ago.
