Cook the Eagles The colors blue and white were prevalent throughout the school Friday as the homecoming festivities neared a climax. Practically everybody who had not gotten a pass during the week to work on floats tried to find one from somewhere Friday morning. By 1:35 p.m., those left at the school boarded the buses for the homecoming parade. This year there were approximately thirty entries, one of the longest parades ever.

From whose pocket did you bum that thirty cents? Mr. Alfred Wright shocked everybody with his out¬ fit. Hobo Day 25
