Valerie Brown and Steve Corya pose after Miss Brown was crowned Homecoming Queen by Denise Marulic, 1 978 Queen. Although October 1 4 began gray and rainy, the clouds made way tor the sun just in time for the Homecoming game and ceremonies. Parachutists from Kelly ' s Field near Mooresville, Indiana opened the pregame ceremony with jumpers from the sky bringing the game ball with them. The first Homecoming float FC had had in years was one specially designed and constructed by the Independent Bryan Men (IBM ' s) for the Queen candidates. Valerie Brown was crowned 1 978 Queen by her successor Denise Marulic. The Delta Delta Delta Sigma Alpha Epsilon decorations, Trap Those Tigers By Their Tails, won first place honors. Pregame and halftime music was provided by the Seymour High School band. A late game scoring explosion by the Georgetown Tigers ended any hope for a Grizzly win. Holding a 1 4-7 lead, the Tigers scored 22 points in the last nine minutes leaving FC at the very short end of the 36-7 score. Grizzlie halfback Brad Angle scored the only Franklin points on a second quarter one-yard run. Earlier in the day, students and alumni were honored and recognized for their achievements at a special convocation. Paul Cummings, a student alumni favorite, was one of the six to receive a Distinguished Alumni Citation at the program. Brad Angle gets the step on Georgetown ' s defensiveman. The Grizzlies offense was not able to produce the big plays during the game. Homecoming Day 7
