Homecoming Spirit ls Reflected The spirit for Homecoming 1963 was exem- plified by the unity of the student body. This oneness in spirit was shown when decorating began on the 1963 theme, '4Over the Rainbow? Every locker was soon striped in red and black. Hall ceilings were draped with streamers. A huge football player, sitting on a 'fpot of gold, watched over the south lobby as it was decorated in pastel colors. The halls became covered with posters and an East High Trojan was hung in effigy from the decorated light posts on the street. ln the gym attention was concentrated on ceiling and wall decora- tions. Hundreds of multicolored strips of paper were fused into a wall, the final product was beautiful and startling. The many hours of time and patience spent by the entire student body resulted in spec- tacular decorations. The car caravan and bonfire were two im- portantpfeatures of Homecoming 1963. The traditional horn honking and hoarse shout- ing provided plenty of excitement so that few spirits were dampened by a brief, un- expected shower. As the caravan arrived at the bonfire, cars were abandoned for the warmth of the blazing fire. But as the evening wore on and the fire began to fade, the cheers turned into more quiet folks singing and the night grew more still.

rownin of ueen Georgene .5 . The half-time ceremony was the high point of homecoming activities. As the band marched on to the field, Prince, the Bengal tiger, circled the field and brought cheers from the crowd. Following Prince came the queen candidates, radiant in the cool night air. Tension mounted as the candidates were es- corted across the field to the music of '4Let Me Call You Sweetheart. The candidates stood before the crowd. The queen was announced. When Queen Georgene Gersema was crowned, there was a release of smiles and tears. A highly successful dance was the final event of Homecoming. The affair was made perfect by fine music, beautiful decorations and a radiant queen. These things combined to leave the fondest memories of HOMECOMING 1963.
