The night of Homecoming '81, which had promised to be a memor- able event fulfilled all expectations of those involved. The evening started with the color and excitement of the Homecoming Parade. The class of '81 made a clean sweep with their float, becoming the first class ever to win all three years of float competition at Choctaw. With the Indians team well ahead at half-time, the Homecoming Queen Renee Johnson and her court were presented. After the game, to celebrate another Indian victory (48-0), everyone danced the night away to the beat of a live band. Homecoming Night '81 touched everyone in its own certain way. 14 HOMECOMING
