Behind the scenes, Mrs. Paclzhold works on Homecoming Dance decorations. Spirit runs high for the cremation of an old hat; Andy mourns in solitude. For C.H.S. dancers, happiness is the beat of Mt. Vernon’s Sting Rays. With classes well underway and football season in full swing, fall activities were highlighted by the annual three-day Homecoming celebration. On Thursday evening, October 19, varsity cheerleaders set the mood for Friday night’s game by evoking yells from students in pep assembly around the bonfire. Friday’s activities began with an afternoon parade consisting of the royalty, football players, cheerleaders, and class and club floats. That night on the gridiron, hustling Jackets gave the DuQuoin Indians a workout but lost 21-6. At halftime Jana Frazer was crowned 1967 Homecoming Queen by retiring Queen Lynn Weber. The juniors were awarded first prize in the float competition with the seniors placing second and the band third. On Saturday night the girls’ gym was transformed by the Student Council and the art classes into a comic strip world of Peanuts. Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, and over two hundred students were on hand to enjoy a highly successful dance. 14
