' HOMECOMING OF' 1950 mwmmmmwwm If v 'M N I REQ ski ? l lm o n W I Q fl ,X l Mglgg, This year we burned our own bonhre. We had two thrilling days of events. On October l3th and I4th, Hey-Hi staged its second annual Homecoming which started on Friday evening with a pep session, bonfire, and a snake dance. Preceding these two days, four candidates for Queen and King were elected. On Saturday the town of Heyworth was quite crowded since no one could afford to miss the parade which was followed by an exciting foot- ball game with Octavia. To our disappointment, however, we were defeated I0 points. Of course, Saturday evening was a big event also since the King and Queen were crowned and swing and jive music to dance to was produced by Ed l..ierman's band. About IO p.m. Helen True and Ronnie Davis were crowmed King and Queen, while Phyllis Kidwell and Charles Pendleton were named their attendants. There was a nice tumout at the dance and finally these two wonderful days were ended, and the Homecoming of I950 was considered a lot of fun and a great success.
