Don’t Rain On Our Parade As it was before, so shall it be again. For the second year in a row the Homecoming Parade was rained upon. This did not dampen the spirits of the Dukes however. The Band led the group down Pine to Woodside to Scheurmann to Nebobish and home again. Winning the contest for the best float was the Mama’s and Papa’s, despite the accident it had. The Senior float took first prize for the class judging. As the Dukes were approaching a 6-0 start, the spirit in evidence was overwhelming. A good time was had by all.

The Bonfire — Fire Up Dukes Arrival of Autumn makes the beginning of a Football season. Around here this also marks the annual ritual of burning wood to rally the troops onto victory. Homecoming, 1979, began with anticipation and much spirit Wednesday when the bonfire smoldered and burned out any thoughts of losing. Coach Harvey and Coach Pfundt talked optimistically of victory while the Cheerleaders led a pepped up somke dance around the fire. A good time was had by all.

Mil) Garber Wins On A Full Stomach They say an army moves on its stomach. I’m not sure about that, but it’s true Garber does indeed eat. The cafeteria put on a special banquet for homecoming featuring Roast Cardinal and other Garber Grub. The lines were very lengthy and enough “Cardinal” was consumed to nearly make it an endangered species. The GAA put on their annual pancake supper, which was also very successful. They had an increase of 170 people over the year before. All was delicious and a good time was had by all.
