Spirit soars as homecoming festivities begin Crisp fall winds greeted students as they gathered for the initial homecoming festivities Thursday night preceding the game. Despite the cold, school spirit surged through students as they huddled around a blazing bonfire. Both cheerleading squads led the group in spirited yells at this time and later proceeded to the football field, where several members of the football team gave rousing speeches that were greeted with bursts of applause. But this scene suddenly changed— silence swept over the spectators as they awaited the announcement of their queen. Anticipation and excitement rose to a climax— Sally Newberry accepted the crown and began her reign as Homecoming Queen. With this phase of the festivities over, students realized the mere 24 hours separating this glory from gametime. Leading Trojan Boosters to the football field after the bonfire for pep talks, more cheers, and the crowning of the queen, varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders head the snakedance. Showing the confidence and pride they have in their team for the upcoming game against Merrillville, football team co-captains Bill Allen and Jim Darnell, seniors, give pep talks at the Thursday night rally.

Early dismissal initiates festivities Fun, excitement, and work— these were the elements of a festive Homecoming ' 68. A 12:30 dismissal granted students time to complete their clever and colorful parade entries. Also, before game time alumni were honored at a coffee hour in the school library. Highlighting half-time activities, Queen Sally Newberry and her court were re- presen ted followed by the announcement of trophy winners. The senior float, Bury ' Em , captured first place and Pride Is Our Pow-er took second for the juniors. Key Club ' s Mow ' Em Down and FHA ' s Stir ' Em Up won first and second place awards, respectively, for cars.
