Homecoming Saturday, October 24, dawned crisp and beautiful on the day’s festivi- ties, which began with alumni and mother-daughter receptions and luncheons. The brisk air set the mood as the Homecoming Parade proceeded through Clinton to the beat of the MC marching band. Nenamoosha fired up the crowd as it led the way on the big red fire truck. Phi Beta Lambda was also truckin’ on. Woodsy the Owl and Swannanoa waved a cheery hello to the crowd, while the Circle K trench coats (those wild and crazy guys) were “The Untouchables ”. Spreading a purple trail of candy and good wishes was the MC Student Nursing Honor Society. The Sophomore class’ caterpillar “inched” its way to 1st place in the float competition as its various segments spelled out “Inch to Victo- ry”; Civitan gobbled up 2nd place with an oversized bag of dog food sitting beside a dog house bearing the title, “Puppy Chow the Pacers”. In 3rd place was KT’s elephant trampling a UTM football player with the slogan, “KT says, ‘Stomp the Pacers’”. The patio show, hosted by Michael Smith, warmed up the crowd with songs and dance by the Naturals, Jack Wood, and the KT Beaus plus Jim Grantham. Alumni and friends then moved to Robinson Field to cheer the Choctaws on to an exciting game against the University of Tennessee at Martin. The score wavered back and forth right up to the buzzer for the halftime show.
