Enthusiasm and Excitement Spark Homecoming Although nearly everyone participated in at least one of the many actixdties surrounding Homecoming, each person has a separate and individual reason for remembering it . . . the night-before bonfire . . . the frantic completion of floats . . . the crowning of Laura Lee Harvey as queen . . . the enthusiastic win over Beech Grove ' s Hornets . . . Jim Miller ' s selec- tion as Mr. Football by his teammates ... all signi- ficant aspects of Homecoming 1962. A pep rally complete with bonfire signaled the beginning of Homecoming festivities. Winning the traveling trophy for the best float in the Homecoming parade was the entry built by the senior class. With the theme Let ' s Grind Out a Victory, the float gave the class of ' 63 its third first-place victory. Holding her bouquet of roses, Homecoming queen Laura Lee Harvey posed with her senior court, Pam Jackson, Patti Joyce, and Barbara Sommer.
