Fall Festivities Climax in Mid-October as the Homecoming drew near, and a tinge of excited anticipation diffused through the school at the prospect of the fall festival’s beauty and pageantry. Homecoming itself is traditionally a time for welcoming past graduates of Andrew Lewis back to their alma mater. With this in mind, intricate planning became necessary for the celebration. Industrious students applied teamwork in festooning the halls and floats. These workers knew the frustration of slaving to fasten bushels of napkins and streamers to uncooperative truck beds. A few knew the feeling of utter defeat upon watching that ostensibly perfect float blown to a shambles by a merciless breeze. In spite of minor disasters, a hidden Pygmalion transformed these simple trimmings into elegant decorations, and Homecoming pro¬ ceeded. The selection and presentation of the court, the afternoon parade, and the impressive halftime ceremonies delighted both the beholder and those who had labored over them, making Homecoming 1965 one of the year’s outstanding moments.
