24 homecoming night

Halloween, assembly kick-off Homecoming Week October 31 doubled as Halloween and the first day of Homecoming Week. Due to the two events coinciding, Student Council sponsored the traditional Pumpkin Cutting Contest as a Homecoming activity. The Navy Band kicked off festivities at Tuesday’s assembly. It wasn’t anything like I expected. I thought it would be dentist office type music, but they really got into it and got everybody involved. It was fun, reported Sue Munro. Activities were planned for each day. Activities included slave day, the sexy baby contest and a cheerleader weight guess. Carnations were sold during the week, courtesy of the Student Council. Dress-up days were included in the week's events. Wednesday's No-Sweat Day was a carry-over from the movie “Rocky,” which also served as the inspiration for the Homecoming theme, Hornets Fly Higher.” Friday's assembly wrapped up the week. Along with class yells and skits, there was a pie eating contest, a raw egg eating contest and a kissing contest. Seniors won the megaphone with an exuberant display of spirit. homecoming week 23

Stormy weather dampens Homecoming pageant Rain and resulting cancellations dam- pened, but failed to drown 1977 Homecoming festivities. Inches of mud forced the horse and buggy scheduled to carry the king and queen to be replaced by four-wheel drive vehicles. Hours of work were “washed away” for many hard-working students when the truck carrying the float was unable to run on the track because of the muddy conditions. Firemen on hand to protect against fire, reversed roles momentarily to assist students in lighting the giant wooden “E” drenched in diesel fuel, which had refused to ignite for half-time ceremonies. The downpour let up during halftime coronation ceremonies. Anticipation mounted as the band played the Homecoming theme song, “Fly Higher,” from the movie “Rocky.” Senior Boyd Scott and junior Valerie Kirkpatrick were named 1977 royalty. The last game of the season, the Thursday following Homecoming, was the scene for Homecoming Part II, or, a re-enactment of Homecoming night’s activities. Senior Sheri Tabler sang a solo as EHS harriers ran the track by torchlight to successfully light another giant “E.” The only disappointment was that the float again failed to show due to a mix-up in communications. homecoming night 25
