Student Cou 1965 Home A welcome sign was furnished by the Student Council to welcome all Exes back home. I'ELCOME TO HOMECOMING For the last time Taft High School Greyhounds met their rival, Sinton, in the traditional football game. To make the event even bigger, this was our annual homecoming game. The Student Council sponsored the event which saw many changes made in the ceremonies. Many exes returned for the fes- tivities. For the first time the Homecoming Queen Nomi- nees entered the field on convertibles during the pre- game activities. Crowning the queen was Mr. Butlch Pressley and Mrs. J. W. Albin. Counter clock wise: Rain fell on the night of the bonfire, but it did not dampen our high spirits. This was our last opportunity to prove to Sinton that we have the best team. A downtown pep rally aroused much optimism among the older folks in town. Almost every student’s car was decorated with comments concerning the forthcoming game, but Bonner Bivin’s was one of the more notable cars.
