T t all started Tuesday. Our Homecom- ■ - ing week was delayed a day to allow our break for the State Fair on Monday. Our spirit and pride slowly kindled un- til it reached its peak on the field, Friday. Seniors Come Home Parade Floats On Tuesday started it all off. Unique hats brought a glimmer of spirit, while the Seniors ' legs contest stumbled with lack of student support. All in all, the day lost some of its pizzazz with the deluge of rain we received throughout the day. Our thoughts turned to the safety of our cars on the wet roads or anything to do with water. Wednesday carried out Tuesday ' s pessimism at the start. The Juniors ' 3- legged race fell through with only one team showing. Socks stuck out, as the day ' s theme got afoot with wide stu- dent support. Optimism of victory heightened with the sight of sunshine rainbowing through the clouds. Thursday the most successful class sponsored Homecoming activity occurred. The Sophomores ' tug-of- war pulled the student body into friendly competition as the Sophomores and Juniors stomped over the Freshmen and Seniors. In the end, however, the Sophomores were vic- torious over the mighty Juniors. The theme for Thursday was tacky ties and tacky they were. On few occasions were there any ties seen that actually matched the clothes. Spirit was building and we were ready, willing and hopefully able to meet the Wildcats, even at the possibility of rain in the forecast. 10 Homecomine KEVIN GODBY and his car develop a case of senioritis during the Homecoming parade.

Friday was the day. Our spirit was at its ultimate high. Visions of victory were everywhere, even through the off and on rain showers. Those, however, didn ' t stop our first all-school Homecoming parade. Our spirit didn ' t fail, even through the loss to Lake Highlands. Nevertheless, we left the field with the feeling we had ac- complished a small victory.
