HOMECOMING The bottom rows of the bleachers in the Eisenhower gymnasium were reserved on the evening of February 9, 1968. As the clock neared 8 o ' clock, gi ' oups of people began to gather outside the gym. They entered to crowd together on the south wing of the bleachers and to view Eisenhower ' s 1968 Basketball Homecoming Game. The finalists for the Homecoming Court arrived throughout the first quarter of our game and took their places nervously in the reserved section. Each girl ' s heart beat faster as ha 1 ft i me approached. With the coming of the halftime activities, the crowd applauded enthusiastically as Janet Baker and Diann Honeycutt were announced Sophomore Sweetheart and Junior Darling, respectively.
