At least he seems generous enough to offer someone a “swig.” Mr. fames Thomas displayed his cooling out” outfit. 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. School officials and local townspeople remarked, “Each year, the parade gets bet¬ ter.’’ The VICA club float outshined all others, for it demonstrated precision, adequate treatment of theme, and just total “ to¬ getherness The judges made no mistake in awarding the VICA club the first place rating. Now, when the floats left the school, the junior class float had the first place “in the bag,’’ but only the trade students knew that they were going to fall second fiddle to the VICA entry. The FBLA won third place for float competition. Stuffing those napkins, stopping those paint runs, shaping that papier mache, and carving those bulldogs and tombstone paid off for winners. 26 Blue and While Day
