Untimely Rain Fails To Drown Enthusiasi The morning Coronation of September 25th ushered in two days of Homecoming activities thematically centered around the “Roaring Twenties.’ That afternoon the school body was entertained by humorous skits portraying that by-gone era. Featured were the Keystone Cops. Flappers, gangsters, song and dance routines, pantomimes, and a magic act. Even though rain precipitated game postponement, a wallshaking pep fest was presented. The West High Steppers danced to the music of the I920’s hit, “Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye. ’ The parade, too. was postponed, as evidenced by a disappointed band and water-logged floats. That evening the traditional Homecoming Dance was held in the Lakeland Room of the Pick-Nicollct Hotel in downtown Minneapolis from 8:00 to 11:30. A small-scale parade and the game took place the following Monday, and it was clear that the passing of the weekend had not shaken the retained spirit.
