Sophomores Glllalqz CTHstory 26 Floats The building of floats was a tradition of Homecoming. This year all of the floats re- ceived some type of honor. The freshman float was built at Missy Sur- let's house. For four long weeks a group of about twenty people worked from about 5:30 to 9:00. As a result, they gained the title of Most Colorful. Fr. Missy Surlet said Alot more people came to help than l expected. Sophomores received the Best Overall award. The float was built as Chad Weldon's house. About three weeks after they started building, the float was completed. On week- nights they worked from 6:30 to 9:30 and on weekends they worked from I:OO to IO:3O. All of the hard work certainly paid off in the long run. Shelley Branham's house was the building site for the Junior float. For three to four weeks a group of about fifteen people worked on it. Every weeknight from 7:00 to 9.30. - The senior float obtained the title Best Use of Theme. Eight to ten people worked on it every night at Tina Hill's house, for three weeks.
