Miss Wildcat's” honor was the climax of many awards presented during Homecoming. The anti-climax came during assembly, Friday, November 5, when the Junior Class was presented with the First Place trophy for the Hall Decorations. The presentation brought much joy for the Juniors as it represented an award for hours of hard work and planning. The Juniors' happiness was not short lived. After the hours of planning and hard work put into their hall, Eve of Destruction-Dawn of Correction , it came as quite a surprise to every- one when the Junior Class float won first place in the class division.
