Preparations for Homecoming occupy long hours.. .5 In spite of wind and rain, Charlie Shapard works on the Sophomore Class float. HOMECOMING 1957, well in keeping with this year's other activities, was new and different. Since the event was rained - in fact, tornadoed-out on November 7, it was postponed to December 13, the first home game of the basketball season. On the November date the various commit- tees, oblivious of the intermittent showers, worked steadily to complete their floats for the big parade. Forty-five minutes before parade time, however, all the workers gath- ered in the auditorium and decided to post- pone the activities. By that time, the J.C.L.'s crepe paper was a limp, faded mess, and the Senior Class's four-foot blue class ring was ready to collapse. The new gym doors were opened to specta- tors for the first time at the homecoming basketball game against Wilmington, state champions. There was no great rush to ar- rive early to get seats, for the foldable bleachers seat as many as 3,000 people. The Homecoming Queen, accompanied by four attendants, was crowned at half-time by Mayor Jess Washburn. After the game, which High Point won 51-48, students en- joyed a sock hop in the old gym. T-E-A-M! Cheerlead- ers Weisner, Samuels, Groome, Byrd, Boone, and Cecil warm up for the homecoming game. Although Head Cheer- leader Beverly Byrd has school insurance, she still feels jittery when she is at the mercy of her crew. They're decorating for the sock hop.
