Homecoming Parade pumps up Warrior nthusiasm T wo bands-one green and one white-cars with pret¬ ty Homecoming atten¬ dants, a cavalcade of floats covered with teddy bears, cheerleaders, flagtwirlers, and repre¬ sentatives of school organizations wound their way down Settlers Landing Road to Victoria Boulevard and Darling Stadium in the annual Homecoming Parade, October 16. “Plans began about 30 days be¬ fore the parade. Notices were sent to each club sponsor, then sent back to the SCA, explaining to us what type of unit the club would develop,” ex¬ plained Mr. William Cawley, spon¬ sor of the SCA. “We then made up the line-up, according to variety, size, and class,” he added. “Good organization made the parade a success.” Those who participated in the parade agreed. “The parade was fun. It showed that KHS really had some spirit. I think the SCA did a good job of orga¬ nizing the parade,” said senior Cathy Thomas. The theme “String up the Bruins, executed by tying up giant Teddy Bears and small ones,” won First Place in the float competition for the juniors. “King Hugh” and the Key Club initiates, clad in diapers and bibs and occasionally obeying a royal command to roll on the street, won First Place for Club Units. Even the band indulged in com¬ petition, keeping in the spirit of the parade. The Green Band, led by Drum Major Tier Thomas, and the White Band, led by Drum Majors Lewis Watson and Tom Smith, com¬ peted with each other for First Place honors. The White Band emerged victorious. “One reason the parade was so successful was because of the num¬ ber of clubs we had participating this year,” said Mr. Cawley. Chilly weather the weekend of Homecoming caused participants to shiver and huddle together for warmth while they were waiting to begin. “It was freezing! I still enjoyed myself though. I had never been in a parade before, and even though it was cold, that Warrior spirit flowed through my veins and warmed me up,” said junior Michele Thompson, who rode on the winning float. For seniors, their last Home¬ coming Parade was a night to re¬ member. “I enjoyed being a part of the parade,” said senior Tony Robert¬ son. “Since it was my senior year, I thought that I should become more active, so I helped with the Drama Club’s unit, and it was fun,” he added. There was nothing like a parade! CUT IT HERE! Members of the Key Club, Kristy Alligood, Stacie Neal, Saqib Talibi, and Janet Browning work together to com¬ plete their winning unit in the parade.
