Homecoming: That Special Time Homecoming is the premier event of the fall semester at Sul Ross. This year many clubs and organizations worked hard to make the celebration a success. These clubs devoted their time in con¬ structing floats for the parade, gather¬ ing wood for the bonfire, and campaign¬ ing for homecoming queen nominees. Ex-students, faculty, and administra¬ tors joined students for a spirited bon¬ fire pep rally on Homecoming Eve. A large crowd assembled for the an¬ nual parade on Homecoming Day. This year’s Grand Marshal, Mrs. Sharon Bass, led the parade through the down¬ town area to Jackson Field. The theme for the parade was “Sul Ross; The Last Frontier”. Participating floats reflected our ties with the past and our hopes for the future. The climax of the afternoon came when the proud Lobos thrilled specta¬ tors with a 24-0 win over the McMurray Indians. Above: Bari Bell, Robert Nelsoney, Billy Abercrombie, Kevin Karnei, Darla Wright stand atop the bonfire pile. The Clip and Brand Club won the Spirit Contest for gathering the most wood for the bonfire. 26
