27 Feel Rush of Hectic Homecoming Week Throughout the 1970 Homecom- ing Week, Oct. 26-30, spirit' mounted. The door decoration con- test held by Student Congress and Thespians' all-school paint-in helped to provide posters and streamers which covered walls, ceilings, and doors. Carrying out a SHHS tradition, each club nominated one girl for Homecoming queen. Those 27 girls, the largest group to ever com- pete, shared a special excitement. Friday, Homecoming day, brought an hour long pep rally. Many exes joined with the student body, and the spirit rose to a peak. When game time approached, the stadium filled to near capacity. Students, faculty, and parents all gathered to support Big Sam as the Texans beat MacArthur 21-14.
