Faces register varied emotions while anticipating a liappy evening Erratic rain did nothing to alter tine spirit of Trojan power at the fourth annual Homecoming. Victory over perennial foe South Side contributed to a major portion of the night ' s success. A switch from the accelerated pace of the game, the crowning of Sandy Day athalf timewas highlighted by the original floats and glowing smiles of Sandy, Debbie, Karen and Beth. The individual floats, painted, constructed and designed by senior volunteers, had a unifying theme of unconventional looking pink mushrooms. Donations taken during homeroom financed the project directed by Mr. Donald Goss. Culminating the victorious evening, a school dance featured the Badge , a local folk-rock group.
