The week of October 1, 1973. It had been that time again when everyone was working on floats, memorizing plays and preparing skits. Homecoming time was here again. Friday was the most confusing day of the week. The parade began at 1:30 p.m. with the Sophomores having the winning float with the theme Live and Let Die. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was the second place float by the Juniors. The Seniors got third place with the theme Get a Bucket Eagles. Shoot'en for a Victory was the fourth place float by the Freshmen. The Wells Fargo played for the Homecoming Dance which was held after the game in the activity room. Mrs. Grimmer crowned King Greg Dabler and Queen Pam Roush. Senior attendants were Denise Hartz and Ron Nelson. Representing the Junior class was Joyce Hadley and Jim Poling. Sophomore attendants were Cindy Lanxon and Jeff Poling. Freshman attendants were Cecilia Miller and Kevin Schisler. This year's Homecoming lived up to its tradition of being the most special and exciting event of the school year. We all had a chance to work hard together and enjoy ourselves at the same time. Most of all it gives everyone some memorable times to look back on. 24

cing week consisted of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights working on the floats from 6:30-9:00 p. m. Although this takes a lot of work and time, it is the most enjoyable part of the Homecoming week. The Snake Dance and Bonfire were Thursday night with the cheerleaders yelling cheers all the way down to the park. Speeches were given by the football captains, Mr. Bourquin announced the 1973 King Queen, and the dummy and voo-doo dolls were then burned. The football game began at 7:30 p.m. with the Devils proving victorious with a score of 14-6. The half time show was based on Walt Disney songs and characters. There were the three little pigs and the wolf, snow white and five of the seven dwarfs. 26
