HmMUij) kfliltifrUl nuuk wky w'wi jjU vLiltiiig oJCumitl You would have to be a graduate to understand how strange it feels coming back to your former school. Everything seems to have shrunk: the halls seem narrower; the kids, smaller; the buildings, less tall. But Homecoming eases reentry. Tradition takes over and familiar things bring back to the grad his old elan. There is the parade of floats, constructed throughout the night and early morning hours in someone's garage. There are the queens and their attendants, smil- ing radiantly despite their ner- vousness. There is the dance after the game. Even the weather in early October stays the same, year after year. The sky is as bright blue on the horizon as it is overhead. Oh. some things are different. East Brunswick lost the game this year to Edison. And the queens rode in convertibles that were a few years old. American car manufacturers are not making convertibles any more. Think what that will do to Homecomings across the country in a few years from now. And there was a Homecoming King. Seniors won the float contest. Jeanne Scherer was queen and Jacque Saul. king. Seniors also were first in the Hall Decorating Contest. But the real winners were the alumni. They had fun. 18—HOMECOMING
