Talk of the Town Friday,October 9,a few hours before the annual Homecoming parade was to begin,Broadway resi¬ dents may have sighed,” There goes the neighbor¬ hood,” as crowds trampled their lawns,and the parade entries could be seen as¬ sembling on the hill. Jamesway, a local dis¬ count retail store was among various other groups and businesses put¬ ting finishing touches on their masterpieces. Jamesway entered a float depicting their present merchandise and popular attire of the 50 ' s and the 60 ' s. Store manager,Terry PUTTING IT ALL ON LINE. The Kellyettes risk everything in going all out in their twirling display. The Kellyettes are led by Kelly Phillips. Burns said that Jamesway entered a float to show the community that we ' re (Jamesway) community- minded and want to help the community, not just make money.” Midway Garage drove their two-fronted car, an orange Ford escort, in the parade. The car,a popular attraction because of its uniqueness,was construct¬ ed by Leonard and Ronald Myers to advertise their business and even a bet (that the car couldn ' t be built.) The Myers ' de¬ lighted spectators with the zany car. The Kellyettes, the local baton-twirling group led by Kelly Phillips, demon¬ strated their expertise as they marched down Main Street. Pheobe Orebaugh, government teacher and candidate for the 27th dis¬ trict House of Dele- gates,rode in an antique Ford to promote her cam¬ paign. Perhaps, though, the way in which the commu¬ nity showed its involve¬ ment most clearly was through supporting the pa¬ rade, the football game and the homecoming ceremony with their attendance. 22 Student Life

Break Tradition Although to most stu¬ dents homecoming is, as Jeremy Breneman says, “very worthwhile because it brings past and present generations together ' it is an annual event which tends to become ordinary and perhaps a little dull. Many evident but subtle changes kept this year ' s homecoming from becom¬ ing a monotonous event. ' ' Spirit Week saw the most changes as “Hill Bil¬ ly day and “Camouflage day replaced last year ' s “Bum and “Toga days. Lisa Meny says “some of the spirit days are still strange. Perhaps the change that was appreciated most by students was the change of the homecoming dance from Friday night to Sat¬ urday night. This change caused some minor prob¬ lems since the school caf¬ eteria, the usual setting of the dances,was occupied that evening. Nevertheless, last minute changes were made and the dance proceeded at nearby Plains Elementary School. Mrs. Liskey favors having the dance changed because “It makes the dance seem more special if it is on a separate night than the game. Lisa Slater was crowned Homecoming Queen dur¬ ing the halftime show of the football game against the Fort Defiance Indians. Even though the Indians defeated the Gobblers, Jer¬ ry Gowl says “The best part of Homecoming was the game because there was so much more cheer¬ ing than usual. Brian Meny has one sug¬ gestion for a better Home¬ coming, “It would be in- finately better if there was a Homecoming King, he says with a chuckle. TITLE WAVE.
