mis- Queen for a Day! Homecoming The Herrin band followed in the middle of the parade and the Har- risburg lunior High band brought up the rear. The floats were the most outstanding and unique that we've ever before had. Prizes were presented later that night at the half of the game. The school first place winners were the l95l Keys' stone car and the Purple Clarion Float. A smash-up ball game with Herrin followed the parade and we slightly skunked them 3540. At half-time a wonderful performance was pre- sented by both the Herrin and the Harrisburg bands. The Annual Homecoming Dance was held in the gym after the game where the sound of trumpets intro- duced the Queens procession. The Pulchritude of H. T. H. S.!!
