El Paso High School - Cometeer Yearbook (El Paso, IL)

 The fiesta mood of the Sp?nish Club depicted the gaiety of homecoming floats this year, while favorite comic strip characters in other displays lent an air of humor to pregame activities. Comic Capers was the theme for our annual homecoming this year which officially started the Thursday night, October 22, before the game with the Chenoa Red Birds. Our school spirit bubbled over Friday noon as several boys put a loud speaker in the math room and held a pep meeting on the front lawn of the high school. That afternoon we had our homecoming parade of floats from the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes and the eighth grade marched. The winning float in the Homecoming Parade was from the Junior Class with Fearless Fosdick strangling a Chenoa Red Bird. The Homecoming Dance was held in the V.F.W. hall with Larry Lonny and his orchestra. 26
