p M XX 6 © 1 IJl 0 Remembe Out of the autumn haze, the welter of falling leaves, the frosty air, the mystique of Halloween, and the anticipation of a parade, a coronation, a football game, arose an aura of excitement which can culminate in only one event — Homecoming. The week before the weekend was filled with special costume days, hall decorations, a giant pep rally highlighted by a snake-dance and a mammoth bonfire, float preparation, and activity, activity! Attempting to make this more truly a homecoming than simply a student celebration, special invitations and program spots were awarded to Homecoming Queens and football heroes of the past. These return- ees were featured before the Friday night football game and helped to create the air of nostalgia which is so essential to proper homecoming. The weekend's festivities began with the parade, a longer one than usual, with the Sophomore float carrying off the Grand Prize and the Senior Class's entry winning Best Class Float. That night's football game was a disappointing one for score, the Dukes losing 16-8 to the Kewanee Boiler- makers, but it was one of the better-played games of the year for the locals. The half-time highlight was the crowning of Queen Jamie Isom and presen- tation of her lovely court. The weekend festivities were completed on Saturday night with the Home- coming dance, welcoming old grads, and follow- ing the Halloween atmosphere theme of Black Magic. Memories are made like this. 10
