Festivities, contests, activities, keep students active during Homecoming Students and faculty were kept very busy with activities throughout Homecoming week. In the door- decorating contest, Mr. Palmer ' s homeroom took first place and Mr. Johns ' s homeroom placed second. Another contest involved cake decorating. Senior Debbie Hollen plac- ed first for having the most decorative, edible cake. Dress-up Day, Hat Day, and Stripe-and-Check Day were other events which took place during the exciting Homecoming week. A parade had been planned, but due to rainy weather, it was canceled. Spirit was shown by the Scarlets on the night of the Homecoming game, when they lined up in a caravan leading from Grandview Park to Williams Stadium. Marching Scarlets entertained at pre- game and half-time performances. Highlighting the half-time were two lines formed by the Color Guard, through which the Queen and her court walked, while the band played Feelings. That night, the Scarlet football team won a victory over Hoover, 7-0. ABOVE RIGHT: Student Government puts on a skit. Janice Beghtol (on top of the ladder) is surrounded by Huskies.
