HOMECOMING Highlighting a week of activities geared to create a special spirit for GPHS, was the night of Homecoming. With attention centered on the game with Crater, the pre-game introduction of the court and crowning of the 1969-70 queen proved a delightful way to start the festivities. After a first half of suspense on the part of both teams' supporters, the Band, Varsity Rally and GAA presented an unbelievable half-time diversion. Simulating a 3-ring circus, Mac's Marching Band provided the musical background for one ring of clowns, one of acrobats and one of dancers. After a second half in which the Cavemen proved their worth, the Spirit-Makers retired to the Homecoming dance where music was provided by the hip band Umatilla Sidewalk . 16
