OC0OOE- Student Council, student body, and faculty involvement helped make this year's home- coming a success. Many of the standard activities were included in the festivities, plus a few new ones. Some classes began building their floats on the Sunday before homecoming week. Float themes were chosen from movie titles. This year's winner was The Sting, created by the junior class. Signs were hung throughout the corridors to help build school spirit. Everyday of Spirit Week was designated by a different spirit builder. The football squad was not the only group which drilled daily; Marching Band members spent classroom time, as well as evenings, practicing for Friday's parade and game time performances. Each year the cheerleaders prepare a Breakfast of Champions for the Raider coaches and team. This year's breakfast was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kaleel. Eualalia Salvador, our foreign exchange student, had a fine time. 18 Homecoming

The bonfire is one of the main events during the homecoming activities. Some of the highlights of 1974's bonfire were the burning of the effigy of Kirkland- Hiawatha's Indians; tug-of-war between classes, a victory for the senior class; the Spirit Stick award given to Debbie Stockley; speeches presented by co-captains Dan Meyer and Joe Tillman; pep band; battle cry; and something new — senior Raiders and their mothers. The evening was concluded with everyone singing “Wave the Flag, our school song. Homecoming 19
