Homecomings aren’t really different All high school homecomings are alike, it seems: if you've seen one, you might just as well have seen them all. Even Webb High School turns out a predica- tably similar week of festivities at every fall's home- coming. Homecomings aren't really very different—some are just rowdier than others . . If one word were able to adequately characterize Webb's 1975 HOMECOMING, rowdy, or perhaps a more polite rambunctious, would be it. Egg-throwing became a popular activity during homecoming week, and even more of a craze during the weekend, and a de facto mass initiation of freshmen was in full swing throughout. When the dust had finally settled, the junior CLASS OF 1977 e m e rg e d as the winner of the competition, picking up first places in the yell and skit at Friday afternoon's assembly, and constructing a second-place float, runner-up to the sophom ores' showpiece; they won the girls' powder-puff football tournament, as well. Activities were initiated Thursday evening, Oct. 2, with a bonfire and the gridiron games. Friday, after the assembly, the classes gathered be- hind their res p e c t i v e floats and walked down Webb Avenue and Main Street in the traditional parade. A 16-12 victory over Adams-Friendship, the Beavers' vic- tims in 1974's Homecoming contest, also, followed, and a dance in the gymnasium concluded the second day. Saturday saw the arrival of the semi-formal dance in the evening, and senior KING KEVIN SCHARA offi- cally ended Webb High's 1975 Homecoming when he crowned QUEEN SUE LICHTE at 10:30 that night. Thus another homecoming—the same, yet special.
