k Friday the 13th is marked as that fateful day when only bad things are supposed to happen. That theory was proven wrong on Homecoming Day, however, when the infamous members of the class of ’79 became the winners for the fourth year in the float competition. Second place was captured by the Freshman class with the slogan, “Even Mighty Mouse Can’t Tackle The Mighty Maroons.” To the Sophomore class with a slogan proclaiming, “Sizzle the Saints,” went the third place ribbon. The parade was led by the Clinton Police, followed by the high school M-squad and marching band. Other groups represented were National Honor Society, Cross Country, Football squads, Maroon cheerleaders, and Junior High cheerleaders. MING 4
