Pompons, Pins, and Pepfest Proclaim Homecoming ’67 Enthusiasm, color, and just plain bedlam filled the Homecoming day of 1967. German Club's pepfest began festivities bright and early in the morning. At noon, cheerleaders led cheers in the foyer where they were helped by boy cheerleaders. Latin citizens in togas, Spanish amigos, German Frauleins in dirndls, and French coquettes displayed the costumes of the countries promoted by their clubs. Pompons, beanies, and buttons adorned the majority of students. The girls in the Homecoming court dressed with more sophistication, but their faces revealed their inner emotions. That morning was the forerunner of the day's explosive events, and the beginning of a memorable RHS Homecoming. 20

 Who? was the question that ran like an electric shock through the crowd. Tension was unbearable until, after a few minutes of indecision by the football tri-captains, Karen Pederson was chosen Homecoming Queen. A rousing program followed this, after which there was a parade into Robbinsdale. Floats had been a matter of concern the night before, but students said, It was worth it! Judges awarded first prize to German Club's float. That evening to the cheers of the students and old grads alike, the team was victorious. After the game many students entered the Tahitian Twilight of the homecoming dance. Strobescopic lights and tropical palms were all a part of the magic of that night.
