The Foreign Language tricycle race, the float competition, and the coronation of the queen combined with a 29,19 vice tory over Bloomington North made the '71 Football Homecoming another success v . to add to the history of BHS. During an afternoon convocation Peggie Stearley was crowned as the 1971 Home coming Queen. Preegame activities in- cluded the royal walk across the football field of the queen and her court and the throwing out of the game football by Gueenlleggie. Plans were made for the float compee tition weeks in advance though the classes seemed to get a slow start on preparing them. Finally. a few days before Home coming. the classes began: students were seen fighting to remain awake in class after working to the wee hours of the morning. But. it wasn't all hard work as the classes found time to throw a few eggs at each other. The judging was done on the basis of originality and appearanceg the work and fun were all over as the luniors were announced the winners. Nlrs, Padgett's planning for the tricycle race included much hard toil as she worked with her club to get plans rolling and to find the necessary riders and tri cycles. Hours of practice and head first wrecks terminated with the Key Club winning the race and the fans rolling out of their seats with laughter. Homecoming activities came to a close with the ringing of the victory bell as the Red Devil fans enjoyed a thrilling game between the Univees and the Big Red. BELOW.
