An exciting. imaginative mood sparked Clif- ton's 1969 Homecommg, celebrated during the hockey game with Summit. This event was tele- vised over WCPO-TV. Alrhou h a relatively new tradition, begun by the Class 0 '68 in their junior year, Homecoming has gradually gained populat- ity. This year instilled an enthusiasm in both spectator and participant. The spirit engendered had much to do with double victories; both reserves and varsity beat their arch-rival, Summit. Melodious notes of the Junior Marching Band heralded the arrival of lovely Peggy Saumer, Homecomin Queen, and her court. Sara Schum, heir to the time, was escorted by Chuck Lohte while the Queen's escort was Tom Lohre. The royal ladies, resplendent in long flowing robes and or- geous bouquets, had no rivals for beauty and c arm. Their only competition was that of the band and the Junior Class Float, result of many hours of labor by dedicated juniors and their capable advisors.
