Homecoming festivities close with dance. The Homecoming festivities were ignited Thursday evening, October 21, 1967, when the students and faculty met for the annual bonfire pep rally held in the school parking lot. Rabbits feet and various good luck charms were presented to Coaches Wagner, Lawrence, and Appelget, and captains of the football team. Mr. Jack Turner, in addition to royalty candidates and attendants, gave inspiring victory speeches. To conclude the bonfire, a Ram dummy was burned as an effigy. The SHS Rockets played the Ralston Rams the following evening, and were defeated by a score of 25-6. Playing in cold and rainy weather, the Rockets had good control of the football the first half, but could not score in the second half of the game. Queen Sue Morrissey and King Bob Brandt enjoy dancing following Coronation ceremonies. ,l' V it if Qifl V 555-7 f 'f?iA':5',57 ylfvfiif e fgiiisni t a ilfiii X 15, 5 gg . 5 .. 35, 5 Head football coach, Ron Wagner gives pep talk to students at evening rally held prior to Homecoming.
