HOMECOMING ‘Fairy Tales’ Set Mood The theme Fairy Tales, chosen by the junior class, set the mood for the 1973-74 Homecoming week. On October 12, one week before Homecoming, the student body chose Becky Snow as queen and Bruce Shedd as king to reign with their court over a week of Homecoming activities. On Thursday night, the cheerleaders led the students in a snake dance through town ending at the school with a bonfire. There the queen, king and their court competed in a hot dog eating contest. Winners of the contest were the junior attendant and her escort. Friday, October 19, a parade downtown followed by a pep rally and skit, helped to fire-up the boys for the big game against Hanover-Hor-ton. A jello eating contest, won by Mark Eberts, and a tricycle race, won by Gail Casebeer, proved that there is always room for more spirit! Half time activities at the game included the THS marching band, along with a parade and presentation of class floats and the Homecoming court. The float winning first place was the sophomores with their version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The game ended with a defeat for the Indians. Immediately following the game was a semi-formal dance and the formal crowning of the queen and king. (Above) The THS marching band leads the Homecoming parade.
