It was more than just an ordinary day. Students and teachers alike could sense the extra restless- ness rippling through the halls. The guards occuping hall control would turn the other way if an obnoxious pupil would raise his voice or make an unnecessary bang against the locker. The excitement was building as the week pro- gressed. The Seniors seemed to have control of things as they won ,Lift Your Spirits Day , the Spirit Stick, and the float contest. Mr. Septor brought thoughts to everyone's minds when he reminded us all of the true meaning of Home- coming- winning the game. To a member of the football team it felt great to be supported by so many fans here at the Trojan Stadium. As the crowd tightly squeezed together, the enthusiastic fans cheered, the referee blew his whistle, and the contest had begun. Halftime brought the Trojans off the field and the Home- coming Queen and her court on. Most don't know what Coach Smith said to inspire the young players, but it can be well assured his voice was full of motivating force to bring the team back to 35-0 win over the Mt. Pleasant Panthers. The weary players and their supporters made their way to the annual Homecoming dance in the gymnasium. The slow-moving football play- ers showed signs of a hard fought contest as some filtered out the doors before the festivities ended. As the last student turned to look back, recollec- tions of friends, excitement, anticipation, and victorious relief all came to mind as the evening closed this year's homecoming week. HOMECOMING

Missing persons, dark castles, and sinister evils combine to set the mood for The Creature Creeps by Jack Shark ley. The play opens as Baron Von Blitzen and Mord, his half human servant, are planning the conclusion of their dia- bolical scheme. Four members of the local com- munity have disappeared and the suspicious fin- ger is beginning to point towards the castle walls. A surprise visit by Daisy Von Blitzen, Babsy, and Frank Sterling helps lead to solving the crimes. With the help of an old school nursery rhyme, Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief; doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief the Baron brings forth his creature. Using these devices, the Baron proves the creature to be the rich man through the chief all rolled into one. Old and new performers alike came together to present the first production under Mr. Dennis Doyle.
