Balloons end first Homecoming rally “I fell happy, nervous, and excited mostly happy, remembers Susie Griffith. Then the band struck up Beginning, the song that announced the '71 Homecoming Queen. I heard, that's you, that's you . . . Now when I hear Beginning tears get in my eyes. Susie joined other fans to yell, stomp, and clap for the practicing football team at Thursday night’s rally. It was neat when Alan Fortier said he was glad every body came out and supported the team. It did a lot for the rally. The crowd's helium balloons drifted sky ward to end the rally and people moved into the cafeteria to dance. Blue and gold mums blossomed Friday but wilted w ith a 12-8 football loss to Corvallis. Though an after game dance at the Idks cheered up most, to Susie, Friday night was sad. It was almost over.
