Pride Evident in Homecoming Displays The float competition is part of the traditional flurry of Home- coming week. It is yet another way the students can show their Mhool spirit and support the team. The fact that the floats are judiftf according to class adds a little spice to the contest and fans the nres of class rivalry. The members of the individual classes grow closer as they schedule hush-hush meetings at class members' houses to build their own float, or raid another class' top-secret construction site. The seniors' float won this year's competition, while the juniors took second. But since the real fun was over and the memories made before the judging even began, nobody really lost. 5
