wesome events signal homecoming l was walking down the hall at about 2:15 when one of the school bus drivers stopped me and asked XVhat's going on here? His eyes went from my Space Ace party hat to my punk rock sunglasses and to my necklace of maroon and gray streamers. The halls were cluttered with streamers, bits of signs and a few balloons still lingered on the lockers. Homecoming was my simple reply. Oh, that explains a lot, was his knowing response. Walking on, I realized just how special Homecoming really is here at the high school. The clubs worked for weeks on end to turn out the most smashing floats. Both juniors and seniors concentrated keeping their phenomenal float plans a secret Sponsors of both classes had their hands full trying to keep everything organized and under control. Teachers were at their wits' end as Homecoming enthusiasm often pushed them into considering mass murder, Yellow flames stretched their wicked tongues up through the night air, dry wood crockled and gave out quick snaps from the heat. Teenagers stood around the traditional bonfire preparing for the burn- ing of the knights less than 24 hours away, JunioreSenior rivalry was never so stiff as it was during the day of homecoming. Gallons of paint, miles of streamers, and hordes of bal- loons were used in the hall competition. Third hour classes racked their brains for the most unique door decoration. Mr. Rex Tomlinson's third hour flaunted first place with an enormous bulldog face and mouth. Tremendous effort was spent on decorations for the gymnasium in yet another junior-senior competition. The seniors came through with flying colors as they won the gym contest. Later that afternoon, the entire student body truned out to watch and take part in the homecoming parade. This special occasion provided the opportunity for Edmond to see its' high school in action. Blood makes the grass growl Blood makes the grass grow! the steady chant carried across the football field at the Homecoming game against Northwest Classen. The stands were filled as bulldog fans crawled out of the woodwork to watch Edmond whip the Knights, After the football game, students flocked to the Victory dance in the school cafeteria or to their own private parties. The Homecoming spirit was still surging strong! lt is one of the few times a year, says Mrs. Helen Peters, the student body can get together for a week long activity. lt builds unity and stronger school support. Homecoming, it truly is an incrediably special experience for juniors and seniors alike!! ALL DECKED OUT and ready to cheer the Bulldogs on are Mr. Sam Winn, principal, the school mascot and two visitors to the building. LETTING THE ClTY KNOW WHO WE ARE is the goal of a group of seniors who decorated the bridge on Fiftieth and Western in Oklahoma City. The bridge was painted the night before the homecoming game. 12 Homecoming
