Working Together And Sharing Good Times Bears Compete - It was here-Homecoming Day. This was the most spirited day of the year, said Grant Kitchens. Homecoming Day was definitely a day full of fun and excitement for the entire school. The tradition of homecoming was to keep all theme ideas a secret. This was easy for the seniors but the underclassmen had a difficult time with that. They had not been around long enough to have attained the knowhow on keeping their themes a secret. I was always being tricked into telling the sophomores theme to the upperclass- men, said Todd Fagin. After all plans had been decided it was time to get down to business. The class council fund paid for some of the expenses of the materials needed. Sometimes they did not have to buy everything. Some businesses donated needed materials to cut down on expenses. The day of the parade finally arrived. Be- cause of increased traffic on Pennsylvania it was no longer possible to block the road off for the parade. This year the parade followed a new route going west on Britton Road from the Broadway Ext. Since Britton Road was being resurfaced the band, floats and marchers had to stay in one lane in order to avoid the tar. The hall decoration competition came second. Excitement filled the school. Every class spent a lot of time and effort in their decorations and they all wanted their hall to win. I was so excited about the dayg it was hard to keep my mind on my school work, said Lavern Harris. Of course the teachers were very cooperative on this day. They were a little excited too. Homecoming was a great spirit builder and something to look forward to. It brought everyone together to share good times, said Yolanda johnson. - Ann Davis , l l 20 6 A Flash Of Life w,,....--Q'+ ',...w- T NM an WORKING TOGETHER.
