IPAIRA Churchland’s Homecoming is usually a very special event and 1979 was no excep- tion. Among the festivities were an afternoon and evening parade, an alumni dinner, an exciting football game, the half-time show, and a PTA- sponsored dance. The parade featured Mr. Morgan, the members of the Homecoming Court, the varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders, the ROTC, and three floats made by Cem Tri-Hi-Y, the Foreign Language Department, and the Band. The winner of the best float contest was Cem Tri-Hi- Y, whose theme was “Brand the Mustangs.”’ While the game was certainly not Churchland’s best perform- ance of the season (-5 yards rushing), with the help of key players like Matt Cobb, Fred Jones, Sherwood Hall, and Steve Williams, Churchland defeated the Manor Mustangs 7-6. The band played several different styles of music during halftime and ended by tackling and disrobing a staged “Western Branch Bruin,’ played by a member of the band.
