Homecoming . . continued from page 13 . . . performance of Zip A Dee Doo Dah . In accordance with the theme, band played When You Wish Upon a Star as the Queen Candidates were introduced. The band completed their program of six numbers with the tradi- tional Fight Song spelling out TRIBE and FIGHT. After the halftime performance it was back to the exciting football game. The Indians held the Celtics the entire third quarter despite many penalties. During the fourth quarter it seemed O'Hara found some extra strength. They started a rally, scoring twenty points, and by the time the clock ran out the scoreboard read 27 to 0. Despite the loss, Indian pride ran high. Following a long day the Indians did not quit. They literally danced the night away. The dance went from ten that night to one o'clock the next morning. The music was loud and the rhythm was fast. At approximately 12:30 everything became still. It was time for that lucky girl to be crowned Queen. The second runner up Vicki Brooks and the first runner up Angie Kirkpat- rick were announced and the anxious moment was building. Finally the Queen Carla Mabin was presented. The applause was loud and the dancers seemed pleased. Three short songs later the dance was over. The lights came on and the starry wishing wonderland turned into a cafeteria once again. The day had been long and hard. Indians had gone from sweats to suits and from braids to curls in just sixteen short hours. This Homecoming would not be forgotten in the hearts of many.-Christine Roth 14f HOMECOMING ,f wif Above: Sol with their f

It was the only meet the Freshmen would run a full 3.1 mile race, and they did very well. The boys and girls varsity teams both ranked 12th and most everyone im- proved their personal times. While the cross country meet was nearly over, and the volleyball tournament was still in progress, Mr. Alter struck up the band. It was time for the parade. The parade was not just a display of pretty people and pretty colors, but a display of South- west spirit and hard work. Everything from band drills to late night float builders were exhibited in the short time of the parade. Four prizes were given to the best floats, and one prize for the best Queen float. The parade was a tremendous success and showed the community what Southwest was really made of. Following the parade there were floats to dismantle and a special night to plan for. The Big Football Game was against the O'Hara Celtics at Southeast Stadium. At the end of the first half Southwest was down by seven.
