Losing con- tact with con- tact Senior girls stop the rugged action and take to their hands and knees looking for a contact. What? Girls playing basketball? Boy cheerleaders and majorettes? A boy queen and a girl king? Yes, the girls took over the court in two basketball tourneys, while coaches and referees experienced—well, would you believe havoc? Maybe it was just luck for the alumnae women's bas- ketball team to put down the seniors. Nevertheless the seniors fought to the finish and demonstrated their skill with such acts as climbing on each others' backs to make baskets! But the bruised and heart-broken seniors took defeat with an onward cheer and later in an all-class tourney defeated the sophomores, and then the freshmen (who outscored the juniors in the first game) to win the cham- pionship game. After the events of the two games with a boy halftime show, sideline antics from the cheerleaders , and a lovely boy queen in addition to the court action, fans might have wondered who wore the pants.

Parade Lights Fire to Homecoming Confucious orders Quakers to Junk Em as he rides in the bow of the junior's Chinese junk which floats on a sea of blue kleenex. Frozen Fever? PHS's cheerleaders, riding in the parade, rely on the homecoming fever to keep them warm. The annual homecoming parade served as the match lighting the fire as the flames of homecoming began to rise. Prior to the parade the floats assembled at the junior high where they were judged. Queen candidates and their es- corts in convertibles, majorettes, floats, and cheerleaders highlighted the parade. The parade traveled down U.S. 40 where it turned on Center Street and proceeded to the football field. A hush fell over the crowd. Strains of the Star Spangled Banner echoed over the football field followed by the kick-off and then it was Go Quakers Go! The long awaited half-time brought a performance by the band as the princesses. Junior Tina Staph and Sopho- more Rose Ann DeLois, were announced. Student Council President, Jim Linton, presented the honorary crown and kiss to the queen. Senior Jenny Snow. The sophomore float was Quakers Go Round to Vic- tory 7 On the junior float Confucious was saying Junk 7Em while for the third consecutive year the class of 1967 took first place with lt7s Plane to See We7re Pioneering for a Victory.77 Adding gasoline to the fire was the defeating of Moores- ville 27—0 giving Plainfield a four-consecutive-game win and a cherished homecoming victory. As a conclusion to a week filled with Sunshine mum sales, poster filled halls, and a pep session Friday before the game, homecoming festivities ended with a dance spon- sored by the Student Council featuring The End. As the last flicks of the homecoming fire burned low, PHS7ers stumbled to bed with visions of Quaker Home- coming—1966 style. Hold That Line! A miniature football field is the setting for the sophomore float as these Quakers-Go-Round-to-Vic- tory. 12
