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
