School spirit always ignites during Homecoming and the tradi- tion of the Snake Dance continues as students gather in front of the school the night before the game to show their spirit in an activity which is both annual and illegal. As returning exes watch and give vocal support, cheerleaders run through yells meant to boost spirits and revive memories of years gone by. Homecoming Sparks Paschal Rivalry As the traditional Poly-Paschal trial approached, exes, students, and faculty braced to the on-coming shock wave. The Homecoming crowd of more than four hundred was met with m iles of banners, locker and homeroom decorations, and gifts of floral arrangements and telegrams from well-wishers. The class of ' 56 was honored and Rita Kay Stew- art, a former Poly cheerleader, was presented as the Coming-Home Queen. All returning cheerleaders led the audience in a yell and entertained by doing the routine for the Poly Blues. Roy Lowry gave an unscheduled appearance as Parrotman. Exes dating back as far as 1929 met with mem- bers of the faculty for a tea, sponsored by the National Honor Society, in the school gym. Football boys Hank Harvey and Pat Findley do their part in the Homecoming pep rally by presenting their interpretation of Paschal cheerleaders. 21

Homecoming Game Ends With Tears After a day filled with excitement, Polyites and Poly-exes gathered at Farrington Field as the Parrots challenged the Paschal Panthers. A new addition to the yell squad, a Parrot mascot (Roy Lowry), encouraged spectators. In the last seconds of the game, the Parrots were only a few yards from the goal when a stubborn Paschal defense stopped the charge. Although Poly had the majority of first downs, the game ended 0-16, in favor of the Panthers. But for some it was still a victorious night. At half-time, Homecoming Queen Gwen Phillips was presented by Hugh Gibnore, National Honor Society President. The band stood in a heart formation in honor of Gwen and her court during the presentation formalities. Enthusiastic yell leaders encourage spirit with banners. Football boys reluctantly face defeat in the final minutes of the game. 23
