SOMEHOW IT DIDN’T SEEM QUITE THE SAME The 1971 Homecoming festivities began with a tug o’ war, the Booster Club’s substitution for the defunct bonfire. The first round was a tough battle between the Sophomores and Juniors. The victorious Juniors and the Seniors then attacked the rope. Un¬ able to withstand the strain of bulg¬ ing muscles, the rope broke, calling the second round a draw. When everyone had recovered, the traditional snake dance began wind¬ ing eastward on Joliet Street and found its way around the square. The exhausted participants stumbled back to school and composed themselves for the upcoming Powder Puff game. At the end of four quarters, the Sani¬ tation Service was victorious with a score of 6-0 over the Junior Mints. The almost non-existent Homecom¬ ing parade consisted of three class floats, fourteen club cars, and our very own Marching Bulldog band. The game started with a bang against Griffith with each team battling for yardage. The climax of the evening came when the fighting Bulldogs beat Griffith by a score of 18-15. The first game of the season as well as the first Homecoming game in over four years had been won. Music for “Out In The Country, the Homecoming dance, was provided by Jacob Grimm. The conclusion of Homecoming 1971 came when Queen Char Colyer crowned Senior tackle Bill Smock as Mr. Football.
