T dd ears 5211 .1 Wac Owens on Stuffed Day. It didn't just happen. . . there had to be something before, something that made it special. Every day, weeks before our Homecoming, I heard the band practicing outside my room in the senior wing. lOf course half the people in my classes were gone- marching out into the wild blue yonder on the football field.1 While the band members practiced their new dia- mond formation for half- time ceremonies, the flag girls were out there too, waving their flags in the crisp morning air. Crisp was right. Con- sidering the 40-degree weather, I was constantly amazed that any of the es- corts, sponsors or other half-time activists came back from practice at all! Homecoming committee meetings were all I heard about. Were these people for real? 30 Pre-Homecoming They seemed to think Homecoming was the big- gest event of the season- they expected everyone to be excited about it-thrilled to sacrifice classes and lunch time to practices. Last year's critchety arch was remodeled to per- fection and garnished with crepe paper and flowers. I guess maybe it was a little fun - especially when Spirit Week rolled around. One day of donning weird apparel tumbled into the next: then came football hero day, and the tradi- tional blue-white day. Even the continually cooling weather contribut- ed to the atmosphere of anti- cipation. With a tremen- dous gathering at the pep rally the day ofthe game, il was hard not to get caught up in the excitement that in- fected almost everyone. Homecoming was for real I don't this! for
