Homecoming Made Gay By Assembly and Dance Despite Gridders' Defeat Although De Lo Salle was beaten by St. John's, Homecoming turned out to be a big success. It was officially opened at the Homecoming Assembly held on the Friday night before the game. Highlighting the assembly was a comedy skit put on by senior members of the football team, including Don Jaeger, Denny Murray, Steve Bell, Bob Kasbohm and Frank Barber. Paul Jaeger served as announcer for the mock football game held on the stage. Next on the assembly was Mickey Rourke, freshman soprano, who song Too-Ra-loo-Rah, and, encouraged by yells of encore, also sang Danny Boy and MacNamara's Band. The assembly was then concluded after a chorus of cheers, and the band ployed the school song as the students filed out. The hard-fought St. John's game, which DE lost 20 to 13, was followed by a spaghetti dinner in the cafeteria, attended by 200 people. Tne dinner was sponsored by the Alumni Association and put on by the Graziano brothers of the Casino Cafe. After dinner a bingo party was held in the school auditorium. The climax of the celebration was the dance held at 8:30 Sunday night at the Northside Legion Hall, which was artistically decorated by Denny Murray, Bill Foley, John Black, Bob Burns and Bob Kasbohm the morning before the dance. The Hall has adequate dancing space downstairs and a very nice coke bar and lounge upstairs that was opened to the 315 students and their dates. The music was furnished by Bud Strawn's orchestra.
