A cold night and a chilly breeze made onlookers grateful for the close quarters and crowded conditions. Despite the cold, the perpetual ‘‘fence walkers” could still be seen walking from one end of the stadium to the other, talking to cheerleaders, and gabbing with old friends. As Royalty rolled to the stadium in Cadillacs, the football team took the field and an early first quarter lead. By halftime, the lead had increased and so had the spirit. At the half, the familiar voice of Warren Magnuson announced the entertainment. JJs, Knight Thymers, flags and rifles delighted the crowd as the band kept their spirits high. The main attraction was the introduction of the Homecoming Royalty. Cameras, cheers, and applause reflected the crowd’s enthusiasm and appreciation. Formality taken care of, it was back to the game. The Knight Thymers were not the only ones to remind Armstrong that ‘‘you begin it with a ‘J’ ” as the touchdowns kept piling up. When the whistle had blown and the game was over, the Jags were still on top with a victory of 21-0. Almost before the spirit of the football game had a chance to die down, it was Saturday night and time for dancing. After a quiet dinner at a restaurant such as the Rusty Scupper, Victoria Station, or Charlie’s, depending on the budget, students found themselves among ‘‘Moonlight and Roses” dancing the night away. 12 • Homecoming

The biggest day around The excitement, the thrill of spinning around; upside down, the whole world in a blur. All this was worth the long waits in line, the endless walking, the blistering heat, and the $8.50 it cost at the gate to get in. All this was Valleyfair. From Flume to Ferris Wheel, Valleyfair offered fun, enjoyment, and jobs for Jefferson students. Throughout the summer, students carpooled and caravaned to Valleyfair to spend their afternoons defying gravity. Strapped in and ready to go, they were drenched by the Flume, spun by the Enterprise, turned upside down by the Corkscrew, and flung by the Octopus. They also found that there was another side to the fun. Rides such as the Rollercoaster attracted large crowds, and a lengthy wait in line was not uncommon. High priced snacks and an enticing Midway helped to blow the bucks. Valleyfair also provided employment. Sweeping and vending were common jobs. But whether they worked or played, students took advantage of the sleepy ride home to remember their big day at Valleyfair.
