Homecoming-first big social event of the year-starts off with a parade through Dyer. After winding its way through the streets of the town, the parade ends at the football field. Here the winning floats are selected. The evening is climaxed by a rally and a bon¬ fire. The following evening the big game is played. This year Dyer lost to Gavit, 0-6. Im¬ mediately afterward, the Homecoming semi- formal dance is held, at which the King and Queen are crowned. These events combine to make the two exciting days of Homecoming among the busiest and happiest of the school year. Seasonal Dances Standing before the blazing bonfire are cheerleaders Kathy Boyer and Barbara Hall. First place went to Mr. Mygrants jun¬ ior homeroom float, Let ' s Plant Those Gladsi When decorating the gym, the best place to begin is at the top.
