PARADE Longest in History by Jackie Schild Where can an Argyle junior learn organizational skills first hand? By helping to set up the Homecoming Parade. This annual occurance which is the kick-off for Saturday's festivities, is the sole responsibility of the Junior class. The parade wasn’t exactly an easy thing to set up — it took alot of preparation, commented Mr. Loren Homb, one Junior class advisor. Preparation started as early as six weeks before the actual parade day.” There was a total of seventy units in the parade with the oldest living graduate of A.H.S., Marie Rossing, who graduated in 1915, serving as parade marshall. Homb said, the parade ended up being a total of forty-five minutes. The longest lasting parade in Argyle history.” The theme for this years float competition was games and game shows. Mrs. Pat Johnson, one of this years judges, said, the floats were all innovative and had a lot of hard work put into them!” However, only one class could be the ultimate winners, and the sophomores with the theme “Dungeons and Dragons’ came away with a first place prize of $20 donated by the Argyle Lions. Kermit the Frog, alias Kelley Gabioud. hopped along the parade route passing out candy from the State Bank of Argyle. Eat 'em alive ' was the theme of the sophomore float which featured a hydraulic powered dragon devouring a knight.

HOMECOMING A New Twist by Sara Everson The homecoming dance, sponsored by the senior class took a new twist this year. “I like the idea of a D.J. better than a band. It provides for more song variations,” commented Senior Michelle Zurfluh. Ralph Cohen, of the Z104 air team provided the entertainment. The students really got involved in contests and dancing. Prizes were awarded to the best “twisters” and to various other contest winners. The decorations were very festive, and followed a fall theme. Leaves were strewn around the gym, with pumpkins, gourds, and baskets of fall flowers making the walkway for the court and decorating the coronation area. Crowds talked, laughed, and danced the night away. Seniors Carrie Espenscheid and Michelle Zurfluh twist and shout'. School Life Queen Carrie leads the grand march procession through the bridge as her parents Marv and Ruth Espenscheid look on.
