Gallant rider follows pages in homecoming Charge!|—A knight gallantly mounted on a white horse invaded the Homecoming parade to revive Thomas Dale’s tradition of the ar- mored nobleman. Preceded by pages and a banner exhibiting the Alma Mater, the Knight emerged, followed by the Chorus. Floats covered by the usual crepe paper flowers circled the track for view- ing by excited spectators. Repre- senting the Spanish Club, a donkey-drawn cart captured first place in the competition for the best float. A car camouflaged as an army tank, by the Color Guard, and three convertibles decorated with tissue carnations, by the Dan- iel Life Club, merited Honorable mention awards. Culminating the spectacular, the Homecoming princesses and their escorts traversed the football field for their formal presentation. An- nounced as 1969-70 Homecoming Queen, a happy, yet tearful Ann Trice accepted the symbolic crown and a bouquet of roses from last year’s monarch, Ava Sawyer. Honoring the regal five, the Homecoming Dance was featured the following night with the “Wild Sounds” providing musical enter- tainment. Comprising Ann’s court were Elaine Williams, Donna West, India Hylton, and Pam Kidd. Gripping Ed Eastman’s hand, Ann Trice shrieks with delight as Mr. Crump crowns her the 1969-70 Homecoming Queen.
