Prior to being crowned homecoming queen, Terri Setser said, I try to be friendly to everyone, I'm really honored. The senior queen nominees were escorted on and off the field by their fathers. Other halftime activities included the recognition of the. 1947 Tiger football team, and the presentation of a bouquet to the coming home queen, Mrs. Marie Bufe, by Lester Ball, commander of the ROTC color guard. The traditional senior Toy Tiger high kick routine, as well as the announcing of senior band members and homecoming winners for the week were also included in the halftime activities. Another major part of the homecoming events was the making of hall decorations and run-through signs. The decora- tions followed the general theme Big Irvi Goes to the Moviesf' with a Halloween flair. The freshman theme was L'Charlie Brown's Pumpkin Patch, while the sophomores used Hall of Horrors. The Hallow Homecoming represented the juniors, while the seniors characterized One Flew Over the Pumpkin Patchf, The judging results for the hall decorations ended with a tie between the junior and senior classes. Senior Marihelen Akins said, We had a lot offun working on the project. I really liked the unusual scenery we used. The run-through signs also reflected a hallow theme. Captions for the signs read: Guillotine the Gophersf for seniorsg This cat likes to trick the Gophers, forjuniors, Tigers get the Gophers, for sopho- moresg and Tigers keep the Gophers, for freshmen. The juniors took first place while the freshmen came in second. Homecoming was also noted for the traditional bonfire pep rally and the parade. The bonfire was held Thursday evening at 7:30. The weather provided a perfect atmosphere for raising spirit for Friday's big game, as the bonfire served as an exterminator for hordes of mosquitoes brought on by heavy rains earlier in the week.

With a modified schedule, homecoming ended October with a full week of activities for IHS students. Hollow event 'roins' with yeorly tradition tCun't. from page 151 traditional start as football captains Randy Perkins, Steve Page, Drew DeHaes, and Ronnie Baxter started the blaze. The rally ended with as much excitement as it began with as senior Mike Grabeel and the rest of the Tiger band percussion section led the school in one spirit cadence after another. After the bonfire Mike said, There was so much excitement at the end ofthe rally that no one wanted to leave. I real-ly like to get the spirit flowing among the students. As a means of promoting more school spirit, the traditional homecoming parade followed its usual route through downtown Irving Friday afternoon. The parade was led by the ROTC color guard, the Tiger band, and the Toy Tigers, all on foot. Various clubs and other organizations followed in cars. Awards for parade entries were also announced during Fridayis halftime. 'The trainers, the A Cappella Choir, and the Physics Club received top honors. Head student trainer Rick Mclntosh commented, t'The trainers spent at lot of time and Along with the rest of the Tiger band, freshman Dale Prather plays the fight song to open the pep rally. hard work preparing for the paradeg our float was really a big successf' After the parade was over and there was nothing left but wrinkled crepe paper and tired feet, students went home to get ready for the big game. The night started with an air of happiness as girls in sleek dresses, guys on their arms and various sized mums complete with bells and feathers pinned on their dresses made their entrances. But, before halftime had started, a rainstorm had hit ISS. The storm lasted throughout the homecoming activities, as well as throughout the game. Although the number of people in the bleachers became scarce, there were a few dedicated Tiger fans who stayed to see the Tigers through yet another loss. As a new feature of homecoming, the dance was held Saturday night so couples could go to various restaurants after the game, and still be able to attend the dance the next night. In preparation for the dance, the student council entertainment committee began decorating for the dance at 10 a.m. Saturday morning. The decorations were up by 11:30 and the dance gotinto full swing at 8 p.m. lCon't. on page 181 Rosie Cimin . 0 Kevin .'. Q.
