There was excitement in the air. and from the tremendous burst of the Style Morchers drums to the unified singing of the pride-filled Alma Mater, the 1961 Homecom- ing pep-rally was filled with energy ond enthusiasm ond was on experience to re- member. The festivity contained skits, speeches, and awards. The cheerleaders led spirited chants, and the band played many rhythmic songs to the delight of the students. In the middle of the pep-rally all of the club presidents announced their sweethearts ond gentlemen, who were given corsages and boutonniere. Not only students, but parents ond techers os well, cheered on the Indians ond filled the team with spirit. Alumni were greeted ond welcomed into the electricity of the celebration, which didn't stop when the pep-rolly was over, but continued in the classrooms throughout the day. After school, the clubs brought their floats into the field behind the stadium, odded final touches, ond waited in anticipation for the nights fes- tivities. At the sfort of the glittering parade the closeness of the people was not only due to the enormous crowd, but also due to the brisk winds of the October night. Howev- er. the colorful floats ond the current of Indi- an spirit kept everyone warm. The halftime crowning sparkeled with the presentation of the queen and her court, ond the 26-6 win over Milton was a perfect touch to the magi- cal evening that had only just begun. — Jono Guzolak 14 HOMECOMING
