Caged bear tops float competition The first homecoming for Grosse Pointe South High School wound up as one of the most exciting. The parade from Grosse Pointe City park to the field was the largest in Grosse Pointe's history with 13 floats, 8 cars, cheer- leaders, clowns, and the marching band. Tension mounted during the game with the Wyandotte Bears leading going into the last minute of play, when the Devils plowed in for the tying touchdown and kicked the win- ning one-point conversion. The final score was 14-13. Highlighting half time was a performance by the marching band, followed by the crown- ing of Kathy Stewart. After much considera- tion the judges picked the Caged Bear by the seniors as the winning class float with the juniors second. The American Youth Hostels' Tower was number one in club Hoat competi- tiong the Red Cross float was runner up. The theme of the Homecoming dance was Southern Comfort. Over 1,000 people danced to music by H. P. and The Grass Root Move- ment plus Rooney Knight and The Soul Sex- tet.
