They were not quite the highest, and they were not quite the lowest. The junior, the middle child, was adjusting, maturing, and changing this year. The complacency of the senior had not set in yet, but the freshness of the sophomore had worn off. The junior had many things to participate in-prom committees, plays, clubs, dances, school work, and standardized tests. The junior had to grow this year-grow to take over the leadership of the school next year after the seniors leave. The junior-a 'inot quite but a going to be.

Homecoming is a building and a preparation timeg a hopeful and a tense time, a melancholy and a romantic time. A week of hard work by Student Council com- mittees went into the preparation of the float, the half- time ceremonies, and the dance. The crowd was tense as we met our toughest opponent, Gastonia. Both teams had been undefeated, and the stands were filled to ca- pacity although extra stands had been erected for the game. During the half-time ceremonies, all the Home- coming Queen nominees, riding in convertibles, were presented to the spectators. The nominees were escorted to the risers and then it was announced that Tania Garrido had been elected Homecoming Queen for 1962. Sadly the Eagle fans watched their team meet their first defeat. Spirits were lifted, however, by the Homecoming Dance where the Caravelles played. Student Council proudly announced that this was the first Homecoming in many years that had made money. This was the final proof that the Homecoming was a success.
