1968 Boats highlight spirit ”3-5-7-9 we’re theclass of ’69 ! 9- 7-5-3 we ' re the class of ’70 ! These were the battle cries which vibrated with the rival spirit between the Seniors and Juniors. Finally, the cheers subsided for the announcements of the class and club float winners . Organization, theme, originality, and general appearance --these were goals which each class strived to achieve. Week after week they worked with pride in their hearts and laughter in their voices, each seeking to outdo the other. And then the day of expectations arrived. First place, the Seniors . A cry of happiness rose above the crowd. Then low whispers followed before Law Club yelled out the cheer for their first place float. The Juniors had taken second, the Freshman third, and the Sophomores last. The crowd divided into chattering groups and the attention turned to the game that night, leaving the parade of that afternoon, September 27, part of yesterday ' s hopes and tomorrow’s mem- ories. Parliamentary Law Club places first in the club com- petition with their float entitled Total Victory . Bury the Bathers steals third place for the Freshmen.

Cl ock ticks away second hundred years Time flew and then September 27 was over. We were filled with disappointment as we cheered for a touchdown and only Mt . Clemens obeyed . Then half time be- gan with the parade and an air of pomp- ous festivity drifted through the stands . Screams of approval followed the crown- ing of Sue Niebauer as queen . With the second half of the game came mounting tension. It was the end of the fourth quar- ter before we broke the 13 --0 score and ended the game with a 13 --7 win for Mt. Clemens. Despite the loss, a spirited crowd attended the dance entitled Melody for a Queen , held in the gym until 1:00 A.M. It bounced to the music of C. C. Thomas and the Yellow Case . The Homecoming dance entertains students from three high schools and St. Clair County Community College. 23
