HOMECOMING ’72 This year homecoming was filled with excitement, happiness, and some sadness. The festivities began a week in advance with the building of the floats. The freshmen built their float at the Co-op. the sophomores were located at the County High- way department, the Juniors built their float at Hagewood Motors, and the Seniors seemed to enjoy a change of scenery. Theirs was built at the new CEMC building. Miss Dozier's house, and the School Bus Garage. We would like to express our thanks to these business’s for tolerating any inconvenience that might have occured. August 12. finally arrived and the floats were finished, at least more or less. The parade went smoothly for everyone except the Juniors. Was that truck really broken down in front of the Court house, or were you doing that comedy act just to score points with the judge? The placement of floats wouldn’t be announced until 8:00 p.m. that night. But already enough bets had been made to cover any decision the judges announced. Homecoming night was a little soggy but the spirit wasn’t. Half-time came and at last everyone would know how their class had placed in the competition. The announcement came, the Seniors and Sophomores had tied for first place, the Juniors came in sec- ond and Freshman came in third. The football players showed their spirit on the field and the only sign of defeat was on the scoreboard. As the gun sounded to signal the end of the game, the dance began. Music was provided by the Whole — Family, remember them? And so Homecoming ended peacefully, if not a little noisy, to the beat of rock and roll.
