flllftlbffftftflltfftlltltfo The crest of the football season was on October 3, the KHS annual homecoming. Who can forget that snake dance to Robinson field at breakneck speed or the large bonfire and the cere- mony of the dummy which was made by Bob Hinton and Russ Nemer? Former KHS athletes made speeches which were noted for the ir briefness. The co-captains of the team, Darold Tarr and Dave Conyers, who were on the program as speakers,were conspicuous by their absence. lt was said that the boys were learning how to put balls into a pocket in an uptown business establishment. Then the next day we all arose early to construct the floats at high school. The parade began, as usual, late: but we did have a warm sunny day for the affair. Home Room 302 won the float contest with Don Ames' Model T crashing up against a brick wall. After the parade the excitement increased until kickoff time that night at Stokes Stadium, The climax of the festivities came when Judy Beltzer was crowned Homecoming Queen, during the impressive halftime ceremonies, by co-captain Dave Conyers. We'll all remember that Judy's escort, Fred Acuff, almost fell upstairs onto the float. The Tigers made the homecoming com- pletely successful as they rolled to victory Z8-6 over the Unionville Midgets. lt was the Tigers' third consecutive homecoming victory, After the game, Judy and her attendants, Lini Fair and Nina Hays, held court in Greenwood Gym, as they reigned over the homecoming dance. The excitement finally subsided late that night as another glorious homecoming came to an end, The Queen holds court at Stokes Stadium
