Cheerleaders were mounted on their float as the court boarded their beautiful balloon.

Lovely lVliss Sue Owen was crowned as Homecoming Queen which ended the ceremony. A quick change on the field from the Homecoming Court to the football players was made and the game got underway. lt was close during the early part of the game but the South Jones Braves overpowered the tough Tomcats.
