The senior float took first place with the theme ‘‘Let the Raiders Do the Walking’ from the Bell Telephone commercial. The freshman float de- picted the Pepsi ad, the sophomores chose the theme ‘Proud as a Pea- cock,’’ and the juniors’ theme was from the Crest toothpaste ad.

Lisa Pletcher shed a tear when she learned that her class had voted that she receive the honor. How that’s how homecomings are sup- posed to be!
