Homecoming Week got underway on Tuesday October 15 as MHS students took a giant step backwards into the Happy Days of the 50's. The days flew by with all the classes spending their nights working to turn out a colorful, winning float. Wednesday was dress-up day and Thursday saw kids coming in a slopped down style—and all ready for the first Manlius pie-eating contest. All the traditional activities began Thursday night with the pep rally. After the cheerleaders put on a few skits, they led the snake dance through town to the bonfire in the park. We heard speeches by the tri-captains and Mr. Bourquin announced the 1974 King and Queen. The Trojan dummy and voo-doo dolls were thrown into the fire to symbolize their defeat. Friday October 18 dawned the most memorable day of the week. All were out of school to watch the afternoon parade of the band, attendees, and floats. The seniors placed first with their float, Devils Express to Victory' , the freshmen second with, We'll Wash the Trojans Out , the sophomore float placed third with, Egor For a Victory , and the fourth place was taken by A Victory Right Up Our Alley , by the juniors. Homecoming Day was a very busy, confused, but special and memorable day for all. 24

October 18, 1974 saw the Red Devils playing the Toulon Trojans for the Homecoming game. The game was well played, but lost and disappointed players and fans left the rainy, drippy field to prepare for the dance. The mood picked up as the band began and carried on through the dance. Queen Dana Creason and King Bob Hensel were crowned and danced the coronation dance along with their court of attendents: se-nior-Karla Kelm and John Dale, junior-Karen Roush and Mike Wirth, sophomore-Bobbie Tracy and Rodney Sugars, and Freshman-Doreen Wiggim and Marty Roush. Everyone went home tired, but with happy memories of another Homecoming. 26
