. . . and Imagination! With the occasion of homecoming this year, the senior, junior, sophomore and freshman classes used their im- agination to design a float that coordinated with the theme that was chosen for this year. This year with the theme being yesterday's dreams are tomorrow's memories, each class worked hard to put sheets. of plywood together, attach streamers of various colors, and use their creativity to display vibrantly colored floats that pro- jected each class' interpretation of the theme. Placing first with their float, the juniors depicted their thoughts of the theme by relating the float with the traditional once-dreamed of High school football player along side the long-dreamed of cheerleader, while relating all levels with the students of East Bay. The seniors placed second with their float which depicted the memories from childhood up to the high school days. The sophomores placed third with their float that showed one's memories after high school days. The freshmen placed fourth with their float which showed the vic- tories of high school and the pride of their school days. 3 ,?ffy1i'J.71f, i ' llzzm .if ft lj lflftl. , j ,f ...f ,ua .qw Top left: Karen johnson took time out to enjoy the tee-pee that she and fellow students made for the sophomore float.
