Juniors, seniors tie in float competition “We've Only Just Begun was this year’s Home- coming theme. Classes and organizations worked hard to ready their entries for the parade. The jun- iors’ “To Knock Out the Knights” tied with the sen- iors’ To Smash the Knights in the class competi- tion. The Thespians' float, “To Beat the Diapers Off the Knights” won the high school organization divi- sion. Homecoming is traditionally a time devoted to welcoming returning alumni. Invitations are sent as far off as Arabia, and as close as down the road. Especially honored this year were Plainfield’s gradu- ates from the Class of 1924. The Homecoming king and queen and court were presented Thursday during the games, Friday during the Powder Puff, and Saturday at halftime of the football game. The week had a tremendous ending when the Var- sity, Sophomore, and Freshman Wildcats tromped Kaneland. 24
