A jubilant court highlights the swinging Homecoming Dance. COURT WATCHES FESTIVITIES WHIRL AROUND Seniors assure the Wolverines of “smooth sailing” over the Flying Eagles. Heart pressure was built up and fingernails got shorter in eager anticipation of Homecoming. Full of merriment and celebration, this annual pageant demanded organization, stu¬ dent slaving, and originality to achieve success. This year October 25 spelled SUCCESS, producing the best assembly, parade, game, and dance ever to commemorate this event. Traditionally the Monogram Club had the touchy job of choos¬ ing the Homecoming Court. Tight lips and top security kept the news of the membership of the 1968 Court quite a mystery. Finally the muffled P.A. system got across the names of the lucky girls, thus pacifying the anxious student body. Then prep¬ arations really began. Breath-taking floats were made, decor¬ ations for the Homecoming Dance were planned, new dresses were bought, a parade was organized, and the impatient Wol¬ verine gridmen pawed the earth awaiting the arrival of the Beckley Flying Eagles from West Virginia. October 25 finally came . . . Queen Nancy Whitman and King Larry Cecil gallantly promenaded around the gym floor. Crut¬ ches hardly kept Prince Charlie Hammersley from receiving his crown, and Jane Bowman became Princess. A 54-7 victory that night warmed all our homecomers and Wolverines alike despite the bitter cold. Celebration seemed hardly to have be¬ gun Saturday night when it was time to go home. Now, relive that 1968 Homecoming weekend and you’ll agree it was just plain great! 20
