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
