Spirit cont. The week in October before the homecoming game between J.C. and Northeast Jr. College was busy with preparations and activities. On Monday before homecoming plans for floats began taking shape. The smart, organized people had shopped early for maroon and gold crepe paper and the others ran frantically from store to store searching for supplies. On Tuesday night with flying spirits and sizzling enthusiasm, people gathered to move to the music provided by the band Air Freight at the Homecoming Dance. The gym was colorfully populated by students in bright satin shirts, satin pants, girls in paisley dresses, and of course, many in regulation pants, even jeans. Wednesday afternoon J.C. football players and dorm students were treated to a mouth-watering steak supper before moving out on the parking lot to converge around a roaring fire. The bonfire and streetdance, sponsored by the cheerleaders and aided by Mike White and Don White who spent many hours getting things together, was great fun. The cheerleaders led a chorus of cheers and chants for the crowd while a toy tiger, mascot for Northeast in effigy, was thrown into the fire. After the bonfire the cheerleaders grabbed their favorite dancing partners and began the streetdance. Dedications ranged from Hot Blooded, for the band, to That's the Way I Like lt, from Coach Cooley to the football team. Thursday, workers got down to serious business in working on their floats, but it was only a pre-view for Friday. Friday morning before homecoming found many students and sponsors alike at the technical building pounding on floats, cutting out letters, and folding crepe paper. Diligent students and instructors spent hours working on floats and preparing the last few details of the parade. Saturday morning they were at it again! All the work was worth it though, since the parade was the best in the school's history. 100 ! Homecoming
