A New Beginning, A New . Homecoming. omecoming moved with the times of the new school, new spirit, and new beginnings. But the method of electing the Home- coming Queen remained tradi- tional. On October,16, the student body elected its three nominees. The three were the girls who received the largest number of votes from the student body. Then on October 25, after the special assembly introducing the three girls to the students, the ballots were cast for the one of the three who would be the 1974 Homecoming Queen. The result of this final ballot was not tallied until' the day before the big day. HOMECOMING DAY was some- thing special because it was the first one observed in our new facil- ity. On Friday, November 1, stu- dents, exes, friends, and faculty participated inbthe activities. The nominees and the 1973 Queen, Alice Thornton, were introduced during the assembly. Blazettes, Maiorettes, cheerleaders, and band performed during the assem- bly. Our first and only parade for the year followed the assembly through downtown Paris. l GROUPS carried out the feeling of Homecoming by constructing floats and decorating cars which carried out the theme Begin- nings. A chili supper in the cafete- ria from 3:30 to 7:00 PM.took care of the inner man. AT HALFTIME the Band and Blaz- i ' ettes formed a heart for the presen- tation of the queen nominees. Queen Alice Thornton gave her crown to 1974 Queen Janie Thomas. THE WILDCATS met defeat at the hands ofthe Sherman Bearcats, 21-24. Despite this the Homecom- ing Dance with Home Grown pro- viding the' music was enioyed by a record attendance.- Ready for the Parade: Nominee Lisa Mazy is ready to add her share to the downtown parade for Homecoming 1974. 28 0 Homecoming 53.245 ii' fl 2?
