3, W L l l r r l V . E l r 1 I l I s l E h...,...-, , Tigers Over Wildcats, Homecoming 1974 began Oct. 16 with the building of the first of two bonfires. After it was rebuilt, the Homecoming festivities began with the band leading the Snake Dance. The band was followed by the Art Club float which served as the car- riage for the three queen candidates. Coach Hand's football squad pre- ceded the JV cheerleaders who led the snake dance itself. Arriving at the already burning bonfire, Captain Robert Lee tossed a Salem dummy into the flames. A pep rally was then organized at the east bleachers and cheers and speeches from members of the team were heard. , ,... if-nw ft ,,rb Above: The burning of the bonfire arouses much en- thusiasm. Top Right: The JV and Freshmen cheerlead- ers lead the spirited snake dance through the streets of Olney. Bottom Right: The Tiger football team rides on the firetruck to rest up for the big game the follow- ing night. The band got things off on the right track Friday morning by march- ing through the ER HS halls. Later at the pep session a suspenseful crowd awaited the crowning of our Home- coming queen. After Roger Cammon announced the three senior candidates, reigning queen Susan Linder and Greg Voyles crowned Sue Herrin the queen for 1974. Sue then reigned over the remaining Homecoming events. The big event of the day was the football game, of course, which featured the Salem Wildcats and the Tigers. Also a special feature was having both the Salem and Olney bands perform during the halftime ceremonies. The Tigers whipped the Z 2-0 Wildcats 22 to zip and thus secured the proper atmosphere for the dance to follow. The Homecoming Dance featured the Spoonriver Band and was the topping to the cake as far as Homecoming '74 goes. 4. ff Tia? -.- if fiffff ' is . av ls-.7 is ' rfb X , , '21 R , a is fi , x r ref N , I . lk xx 'Z ' 9 ill ' K r l Q ' 10
