Fans crown Claypool during a damp Homecoming halftime Although rain was predicted for the whole week, spirits were still high at New Haven. Student Con- gress had activities planned for the week of Homecoming. They were: Monday, Dress Down Day ; Tues- day, Mr. Muscles ; Wednesday, Mix ' em up ; and Friday, Hats off. The parade was conducted on Thursday night. Even though it rained all day, the sun came out in time for the parade. After the parade the gymnasium was the scene for the pep rally. At the rally the winners were announced in the float and car dec- oration contest. The pep rally suc- ceeded in raising the spirits of stu- dents, parents and teachers for the Homecoming game against the Winchester Falcons. Friday night finally rolled around and the stands were crowded with New Haven supporters awaiting the game. The game ended with a score of New Haven and Winchester 35. Students and alumni appeared at school for the homecoming dance. Brushfire was the featured band.

I; In 1923, the first stage of the third existing NHHS was built. Four stages followed: 1934, 1947, 1954, and the last addition in 1964. A new concept in auditoriums will be incorporated in the new school. It will be a cafeteria and also an auditorium. Being 80 feet wide, the new stage is 30 feet wider than the stage in the Junior High build- ing. All of the departments are grouped together. Each department will have an office where the teach- ers may go during their prep period. Inside the double decked gymna- sium, there are locker rooms for both boys and girls, a dance room and wrestling room. On the upper deck there is an indoor track for the cross country and track teams. Between the two decks combined, the gymnasium will be able to seat roughly 3,000 people. Until this year, the IMC has always been on the upper floors of the high school. In the new school it is on the main floor. It has a dark room (for media use), T.V. studio, conference rooms, isolation rooms, and the list goes on and on. HAVING A PURPLE and gold ceiling, the gymnasium features an inside track on the second floor. The gym will seat 2700.
