After being welcomed by Mr. Barneck, Bruce Person and Carmen Kelso sign the traditional alumni list as they enter the Homecoming dance. Color Day at Roseburg High was declared on Fri- day, October 25. The RHS marching band, attired in bright new orange and black uniforms, proudly headed the pep rally parade, which serpentined from the school to the downtown area and stopped in front of the Umpqua Hotel. Then the rally began with yells and dances by the rally squad. After the dances, Coach Thompson introduced the queen and her court and gave a short pep talk. Friday night, the indians clashed against the South Eugene Axemen and emerged victorious. This victory placed a warm glow of triumph on the faces of both the Roseburg students and townspeople. Halftime ac- tivities featured the lovely Homecoming court, which was escorted to the center of the field and introduced to the crowd. Following their victory on the gridiron, the indians moved to the auditorium, where they celebrated at the annual Homecoming dance. Sponsored by Girls' League, Sugar Shack, the theme for the dance, featured dec- orations of sugar cubes and beatnik figures. The Chancel- lors, a talented combo from Eugene, provided the live music. The Chord-dons, the Senior Girls' Trio, vocalist Bonnie Breicha, pianist Peggy Ostrander, and a snappy group of iazz dancers furnished the entertainment for the evening.
