Miss Wildcat 1968, Debbie Mullins, beams at the applauding crowd. Homecoming, 1968, maintained the usual spirit and cheeriness despite a few omissions in the preliminary celebration and a very unexpected interruption during the game itself. Hall decorating started off the festivi- ties. When the administration announced intentions of by-passing the competition, students’ protests were proof of its popularity. After some persuasion the ad- ministration yielded, and the classes set to work with enthusiasm. Seniors decorated according to the theme “Wildcats declare war on Patriots”, and created an appropriate mood through three hanging effigies (of the George Washington Patriots, of course). Juniors celebrated a “Wildcat Revolution” with a Victory Bridge and a wishing well. “A Moment in Cat’s History” was de- picted by the Sophomore class through a Victory Bell and an Alma Mater, among other things. The winning class was announced at a pep assembly for the homecoming game with George Washington. 16
