A 13-6 victory was the reward for a hard-fought game with the Vocational Volts. During halftime the field was taken over by the band members. They provided music and various formations and accompanied the dancing of the Polarcttcs and Bandells. Queen Colleen and her court were the center of attraction as they led the parade around Hobbs Field. The pastel colors of their float contrasted sharply with the threatening gray sky. A procession of cars followed, carrying the confident cheerleaders, poised Polarcttcs, and the lucky winners of the car-decorating contest, Gail Farrand, Sue Falkowski, Corona Rclopcz and Donna Merchant.
