The practico of decorating the I goal posts has long been a tradition for the Pep Club, but this is I the first time for this one on the new field to get wrapped I mummy-style. THE SACRED SANCTITY of some male lockers was violated by the Pep Club; the football players were somewhat surprised to find their lockers cleverly adorned with all soris of things.

Homecoming '65-'66 was success- fully launched at a morning assem- bly after many hours of committee planning headed by Nancy Yang and Merrill Anderson. As master of ceremonies, Merrill introduced Mr. Kenny Wells, Secretary of the Iowa Education Association and former coach at AHS, as guest speaker. Mr. Adams presented the Spirit Jug and Pep Club provided an appropriate skit which was ended by Coach Spatcher leading a horse that car- ried two vanquished Roosevelt Rough Riders. The assembly was cli- maxed by the long-awaited an- nouncement of Homecoming Queen. Queen Debbie Politis and her at- tendants, Marcia Frigaard and Sandy Spatcher, officially began their reign over the Homecoming festivities.

AN AFTERNOON PARADE down Main Street gave the business district an opportunity to view the Homecoming Queen and her attendants. The afternoon activities included a pep rally for the student body at the band shell after school. The pep band provided the music while the cheersquad led with songs and cheers. Following the rally, the group proceeded down Main Street in a combination snake dance and parade. Homecoming Queen Debbie Politis and attendants Marcia Frigaard and Sandy Spatcher led the parade as the Pep Club girls formed a snake dance around the cars, escorting them down the street. THE PEP CLUB FLOAT, pulled by a black and orange '49 Chrysler, gave added distinction to the after school parade and snake danoe as it gave a ride to the pep band and Roosevelt Rough Riders. SPONTANEOUS CHEERING AND YELLING were heard from the band shell as the student body gathered for a pep rally .after school. 20
