HOMECOMING Friday-All Night Pre-Homecoming Activities October 18 Was it raining or were the breezes blowing? No one even noticed — they were too busy preparing for the Trojan Homecoming on the following day. Crowds gathered in the stands of Isaacson Field for the evening ' s boisterous pep assembly at precisely 7:30. With cheering from all par- ticipating, the evening proved to be very exciting, except for the disappointing guest appearance of Wally Chambers. The liveliness was back, however, by the time Dr. Colver introduced the 1974 Homecoming Queen and Her Court. Then, back to the houses, as all of the students worked diligently to complete their floats which, by the end of the weekend, pointed out that life does differ from the movies — it ' s real.

HOMECOMING Homecoming Parade Saturday Morning, 9:00 A.M. October 19 Based on the theme of Movies , this year ' s Homecoming Parade was more successful than in previous years, with much credit going to float chairmen Suzie Soltan and Holly Wagner, and homecoming chairman Mary Unruh. After working hard all night, the participating students gathered across the street from Niles East on Saturday morning at 7:00 A.M. for the judging of the best float. There were over fifteen colorful creations, each representing a different school organization. By the time the big day arrived, the weather was rather dismal, with temperatures in the forties and oc- casional drizzling. Despite the unfavorable conditions, the turnout was sizable. The parade ended about 10:30 A.M., with the announcement that the music float had deservingly won first place. -n ■ iv Q K ♦ Ih x| b j B- •t m M IIISl ' te ' i w TWf ■
