Crowell Ban on oats sparks controversy KKKKKSKKSSKKKKSSYKSKSKKSKS ew Traditions fl . ow can there be a Homecoming without float building and a parade? The students' loud question was countered by an admini- strative question, How can a few students build decent floats while most of the build- ing teams are all over the county rolling yards? With more limits this year on pep rallies and college days, etc.. - students lespecially seniorsl complained that they were being robbed of their privileges due too a few dis- ruptive students of the past. Their complaints were met with the challenge to create some new homecoming tradi- tions. Making the most of an unfavorable situation, the Student Council made plans to put some fun back into Spirit Week. The seniors and freshman 160 l Homecoming teamed up to beat the sophmorefjunior team in a powder puff football game that was followed by a pep rally and bonfire. Effigies of S.W. Guilford Cowboys that were made by students from each class were burned. As in the past, the traditional dress-up days, sales of Cavalier souvenirs and expressions of spirit and enthusiasm were added up to determine the most spirited class. Although the class atten- dants didn't get to ride through town on convertibles with the band playing and floats in tow, the seniors showed their class by participating anyway and earning most spirited honors. With some creativity, future classes can take the responsi- bility of starting some new homecoming traditions. B. Burgin Af 'sf 'R
