Students Question Homecoming Tradition Homecoming signified the changes taking place in students’ attitudes toward tradition. Some felt it was irrelevant while others remained enthusiastically involved. However, despite the lack of student involvement, traditional homecoming activities survived. Screams of disbelief from the princesses and their friends were heard as the chosen girls found themselves being escorted to their places before the student body. Sharing the post of Master of Ceremonies were Ken Eggleston and Howard Korn, joking about the imagined “what would happen if?” Students involved themselves in creating bulletin boards, signs, floats, and lunch-time entertainment throughout homecoming week. The evaluation committee awarded the sophomores first prize for their float, but the seniors were over-all winners. The projects were judged on originality, quality. and subject relevance to the theme of “Grant’s Last Stand”. The week’s work was displayed in the after-school parade led by newly crowned Queen Helen Burgess. Homecoming 1970 ended with a victorious game over Grant’s Generals and Lakers celebrating to the music of Notary Sojac. 17
