New festivities spark Redskins at Homecoming There was indeed something more at Manual ' s Homecoming, the more being a lot more work and spirit, even showing an im- provement over the previous year ' s successful Homecoming. Festivities started in the morning with the hanging of a Roncalli Rebel dummy on campus by Roines. An early pep session continued throughout the day as classes tried to out-shout each other with loud chants of Go Manual, Beat Ron- calli! Evening festivities began with a fish fry sponsored by the Dad ' s Club. Halftime festivities debuted many imaginative floats. For the first time there were twelve candidates vying for king and queen honors. Each rode in a Corvette, courtesy of the Indianapolis Southside Vette Club. Seniors Karla Connor and Jack Spaulding were crowned Queen and King, as the band played Miss America in honor of Karla. The Redskin team played a hard- fought game, as always, but went down to defeat to the Rebels of Roncalli. Once again the slogan It ' s not whether you win or lose ... proved itself as Redskin fans enthu- siastically cheered their team on. With the final seconds had ticked off the clock, Roncalli had won by a score of 16-0. There was a large turnout of fans, inspite of near-freezing weather. Warmed by steaming hot chocolate and witnessing exciting pageantry and football action, all seemed more than satisfied by the successful eve- ning. Homecoming 15
