Alumni return for Homecoming Festivities Practice meant aching feet, hot sun, and frayed tempers. Queen Sylvia sheds the traditional tears of joy. 96 After many days of preparation for the “‘big event,” we experienced one of the wettest Homecomings ever. Because of the Friday night rains, our Homecoming was postponed until the following Monday night with the dance being delayed until the next Friday night. The theme for this year’s event was “This Is My Country.” Many thanks are due Mrs. Loy, Mrs. Fox, and Mr. Rhodes, who graciously contributed their time and energy in organizing our Homecoming and helping make it successful.
