Homecoming is full of activity Fall Homecoming was a festivity of fun and excitement. Students anx- iously took part in the activities of Spirit Week, the float competition and the election of Homecoming King and Queen. The Homecoming game was held on Thursday night again this year, but that didn't stop the people from atten- ding. The honk parade going to the game included over 90 cars. Noise of the horns was heard throughout a good portion of the city. The parade of cars was met about five blocks away from South High's stadium by the band, pom pon team, flag team and cheerleaders. Peach Patterson was crowned as the Fall Homecoming Queen during halftime of the football game. Con- cluding the week of fun and festivity was the crowning of the King, Brian Mumford. He was crowned at the Homecom- ing dance on Saturday night. The theme ot the dance was The Rose, and entertainment was provided by Mike McBride of WESR. Relaxing between dances are juniors Pam Burke, Lisa Parks and Karen Englestad. .

f Seniors capture first in contest The Senior float received first place in the class float contest. Bad News for the Bears, was its theme. The topic of each of the floats pertain- ed to East's domination over the Nor- thwest Grizzlies, a theme which East carried through at the game. Much time and effort went into the construction of the floats. Groups of about 10 to 15 people from each of the sophomore, junior and senior classes worked on the floats. About 25 hours of group work after school and on weekends went to ready each float for the Homecoming parade. The first step involved was to pick a theme, a design for the float and a garage to build it in. There was not a limit on what could be done in design, except that the float could not be over a certain size. The materials used in construction consisted of wood, sheets, chicken- wire, paint, cardboard and napkins. Persons involved usually provided these items, but also money from the class treasuries was used. The jeeps and trailers were donated by businesses, which kept down the cost of the floats con- siderably. Nevertheless, the cost of building the floats ranged from S60 to 370. The amount spent was not necessarily a contributing factor in which class would win, however. For instance, the winning float was not the most expensive. Quality comes from the amount of time and effort in- volved, and the spirit that is shown. i Junior Ftenee Lewis views the destruction of the nuked Grizzlies. Sophomores Brian and Quinn Fliordon, Mike Goodwyn and Jennifer Pence display the sophomore float. Seniors Marty James and Randy Smith treat dying Northwest Grizzlies on the senior float.
