Game Win Highlights Homecoming Eventf Homecoming began for the Sophomores immediately after school on Thursday, September 30, as they began decorating the cafeteriag the Juniors decorated the stairway, and the Seniors worked far into the night decorating Senior Hall. Homecoming dawned crisp and sunny as the students filed down Senior Hall to the Pep Rally in the gymnasium. The theme for Homecoming 1976 was We Can Make It Together which referred to both the football team and the integration program, indicating that if individuals join together, success would be inevitable. The parade preceded the game and the floats created by the classes and the various clubs within the school centered around the theme. The juniors won the float competition with Bulldogs pushing a sinking Viking ship in to the water. The Seniors did not enter a float in the paradeg however, they won the contest for the best hall decorations.
