Rangers Don't 'Bear' A Chance Preparations for Homecoming began Monday, Oct. 3, when each class began construction of its float with an allowance of $25 for materials. An assembly on Friday, Oct. 7 began annual Homecoming fes- tivities. The student body voted Cindy Martellaro to reign over the weekend activities and the senior class chose Rochelle Beauchamp, Susan Huntington and Kathy Hollenbeck as other candidates. The Homecoming Parade started its journey down “F” Street a short time after the con- clusion of the assembly. The sophomore class had the win- ning float with the theme “Rang- ers Don’t Bear a Chance.” A prize of $25 was awarded to sophomores by Student Council. F.B.L.A. took first place honors in the club division with the theme “Ranger Ambulance Service.” The group won the $10 prize offered by Student Coun- cil. The traditional pep rally and snake dance were held Friday evening. The pep rally, held at 2nd and “F” Streets, began at 7:30 p.m. with the Snake Dance startinjg at 7:45 p.m. leading to the High School. The bonfire, sponsored by “S” Club, was lit and rapidly fried the Ranger dummy. On Saturday, at the football game against the Lewis Palmer “Rangers,” the crowd proved that the excitement was far from over. The Spartan victory added a special touch to 1977 Home- coming. The final activity of the week- end was the Homecoming Dance which began at 9 p.m. and ended at midnight. Pep Club and Student Council plan- ned and decorated for the dance. The theme, “Stairway to Heaven,” set the mood. The crowd danced to music of “Fly- ing Wedge” from Colorado Springs. “They played a good variety of songs, but I liked the Beatles selections the best,” said Junior Kirby O’Connor. 8 Originality — Homecoming
