FRIDAY, the day of the par- ade, turned out to be a gor- geous day. The band, leading the way, was followed by the royal court and floats. All went well for two blocks. Then disaster struck. The royal float passed under a low-hang- ing tree branch, which knocked off the top of the float. Since there was no immediate way of fixing it, the top was laid on the back of the float for the remainder of the parade, which ended without further incidents. FIRST prize in the float con- test was awarded to the Sopho- mores for their float depict- ing a Viking victory. D i f f e rent . SECCND prize went to the Fresh- men who portrayed the Vikings worrying about their yardage. NOT shown, The Bear Facts, theme of the Junior float, took third place in the con- test. The score board pre- dicted a 30-0 lead for the Vikings with 3 seconds left of play. Unfortunately, their prediction was incorrect. IN this float, built by the eighth grade, the Vikings are desperately trying to keep the bears away from the honey. It did not, however, place in the contest.

Those that remained, however, doubled their efforts and created a good cheering section. CHARMING Queen Linda and her handsome escort King Duane pose for a formal portrait.

Never A Dull Moment AFTER Honecoming coronation and parade, the Brownton Bears added the final touch to Home- coming 1966 by defeating the Vikings bO-O. Brownton got off to a fast start by scoring quickly in the first quarter. Sacred Heart lost the ball on downs, and Brownton scored again. This proved too much for the Vikinps, as they were never really back in the game. APTER the game the Home- coming Dance, sponsored by the junior class, was held in the school gymnasium.
