Students Parade in Style Beginning at Washington Park, the traditional Homecoming Parade was kicked off by the parade marshalls. Mr. Ray Ma-keever. former band director, and Mr. Bill Novak, former football coach and athletic director. The parade proceeded down LaSalle Street and ended at the high school where a bonfire blazed. Participating in the parade were each of the levels of the football team, the cheerleaders, the band, followed by the Pomerettes. the fall teams, and. of course, the Queen and court, who rode in a pony-pulled cart. At the bonfire, the cheerleaders got the crowd rowdy and the football team encouraged everyone to come to the game and cheer them on against the Dixon Dukes. The band helped out by playing familiar tunes to get everyone going. Pepped-up was just what the football team was as they defeated the Dukes. 35-21. This was the first time Ottawa won a Homecoming game in three years. Saturday night ended the Homecoming festivities with the Homecoming Dance held in Kingman Gym from 7-K) p.m. 'Homecoming '84' was the theme of the dance. 'Trix' provided the music the students provided the fun. Bclowi A novice member of the Cro Country team. Matt Dettore. enjoy hi Urn appearance at the Homecoming Parade.
