junior Vamizy Bzzildf Playm The junior varsity football team this year was composed of alot of hard working boys who in the coming years should play an important part in providing the varsity foot- ball team with experience and ability. The overall season record was one of disappointment. Gut of an eight game schedule the I. V.'s won only three, but all of the losses were very close games in which the victory could have gone either way. Eddie Gartman catches a perfect pass. Coach Lowery practices with the I.V. squad. The I. V. defense stops Rutherford after a short gain. Head coach Cary Wood discusses football. 138!I. V.

Q. wh v ly . ,M Feyfivifiey Hzghlzghi Homecoming The Fort Walton Beach High School Homecoming was a huge success in planned activ- ities during the 1973-74 school year. To start the spirited drive was a morning pep rally where Tricia Stevens was announced as the 1973-74 Homecoming Queen. But that was only the beginning. The door decoration contest began and was carried on through the week, the winner was announced on Friday. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday brought out the true spirit of the Viking supporters with beanie day, sock day, K' f A .iff i and blue day. Friday, however, collected the mostspirited fun with the fi- nal pep rally to lead the Vi- kings on and directly after school a parade of cars deco- rated in red, white, and blue, proceeded to Memorial Sta- dium where a few cheers ended the long week of festivi- ties till game time. But it wasn't over yet. Also planned was the Homecoming Dance held after the game, and when the last lights were turned out, the Viking sup- porters went home finalizing Homecoming Week '73-'74.
