Friday, September 30, 1966, marked the fifth annual Village High Homecoming Parade. The parade was the first activity of the year in which every grade-had a chance to participate. Students joined together to design and construct floats for their own class. During the course of the parade, floats entered by both classes and individuals were judged on the basis of theme, workmanship, and originality. Prizes were given to both individual and class floats. Anne Fitzgerald and Randy Peterson tied for first place in the individual competition, and the juniors took top honors in the class competition. Following the parade, enthusiastic Villagers gathered at the football field. In spite of the Huskies’ intention to carry out the Homecoming slogan, “U Die, U-High,” they were defeated by University High. The Little Gophers won by a score of 12-6. Although the defeat marked Village High’s first Homecoming loss, Friday night’s dance was the most successful one ever held. Queen Jean and her royal court reigned over the dance which was held in the school cafctorium. At 1 1:1 5 the dance and Village High’s Homecoming activities for 1 966 came to a close. 24
