Couplet tubtfitute tquorc-doncing for the frug ot they donee to the mutic of tho Shogt. Ghosts Reign At Haunted Homecoming The bond struck up the Richwoods loyalty song and thou- sands rose to yell, sing, or shout GO KNIGHTS. It was almost kick-off time in the 1966 homecoming gome and the Knights were about to spook the Limestone Rockets. The score was 12—7, but the pace changed from the ex- citement of the go ne to the anticipation of the halftime cere- monies. Cliff Hathway, as the master of ceremonies, announced that the winner of the Spirit Stick was the sopho- more class. The seven candidates for homecoming queen then came onto the field, and Miss Mary Lynn Holmgren was crowned as the 1966 queen. Play resumed and the Knights added a 19—13 victory to their record. The whole mood of that night was excitement— that of tho game, intermission, and that which the knight on horseback created everytime he went around the frock after a Richwoods touchdown. Ghosts were present the next night, October 22, in Rich- woods at the Haunted Homecoming. Spooks and goblins dominated the walls and the ceiling, but fhey were outnum- bered by the 1000 humans dancing to the music of the Shags. The spook effect was even in the picture as the couples were placed in a graveyard containing the graves of the Lime- stone players to have their pictures taken. Miss Mary Lynn Holmgren and her court were presented at intermission and the announcement that the juniors had won the float competition was made. The Shags resumed their beat and at 11:30, the week of ghosts and goblins van- ished, leaving only the memories of that time. John Howord wonder jutt how for it it to the top.
