Homecoming FHS Brings Tears Of Joy And Happiness Spirits of excitement mounted as the 1970 Homecoming drew near. Throughout the halls of the school, cries of Be- ware of Man-eating Tigers, the 1970 homecoming slogan, could be heard.

After the talent show, comprised of students from each class, the band struck the first notes of the processional and the candidates proudly walked up the aisle to the stage. Mark Sherman, 1969 Grand Marshall proudly announced the 1970 Grand Marshall as Duane Sander. A hush fell over the auditorium and the drum roll began to echo as Cindy Grunke, the 1969 Homecoming Queen, paced back and forth behind the candidates. A loud crash of the cymbals was heard as Cindy placed the crown on Jane Gruen- demann, the 1970 Homecoming Queen. Many tears and cries of joy followed the crowning. Following the coronation, the Queen, Grand Marshall, and their court processed outside to the awaiting converti- bles to ride behind the marching band down the mainstreet to the football field where the huge pile of lumber and out- buildings awaited the touch of the torch for the bonfire and pepfest.

— Pep Fest Lead To Homecoming Victory! Thursday, October 15, found many of the Franldin students donning their costumes, making props, and preparing for the talent show. At 8:00 the curtain opened and the variety of skits, miniature dramas, and songs spewed forth from the mouth of the stage. Following the variety show, the coronation took place and Queen Jane and Grand Marshall Duane rode to the foot- ball field with their junior royality sitting alongside. The Franklin Marching Band led the route to the field where the large pile of lumber and trees were ignited by our Grand Marshall. As the flames lick- ed higher and higher, the crowd became more and more fired up by the fine leadership of the cheerleaders. The Franklin Fire Department kept an eye on the last dying ember as the crowd slowly dwindled away. Friday, October 16, started off with the highly aroused students sitting anxi- ously awaiting the time for the start of the homecoming game. Alumni mingled in the halls and returned to visit old faculty members and friends of the past. Balloons bobbed up and down seventh hour struggling to be released at the kick of the ball. At last the team took to the field for the warm-up and the Milroy players looked worried. They had every right to be. With the opening kick-off, there was no doubt that the Tigers were out to win the game. The bonfire, talent show, pep fest, and new reigning royalty were not in vain. Kirk Jensen pas- sed to Steve Serbus and a 31 yard pass from Dickmeyer to Anderson made it 12 to 0 at the end of the first quarter. A 26 yard pass to Dickmeyer and a 50 yard run by Dickmeyer and 17 yard run by Sander finished the game. Final score - Franklin 34, Milroy 0. By George, 1 think I’ve got it! Grab his arm and rip it off! Playing the Royalty March , the band of Franklin high school leads the home- coming royalty to the bonfire.
