70' ' tweak Homecoming! To Trona High students this means greeting the old grads, toasting on one side and freezing on the other while watching the bonfire, or shouting yourself hoarse in the car parade. This 12th Homecoming mea- sured up to all those preceding and in some respects even surpassed them. Friday Started It Raul Quezada, Ronnie Baxter, and Frank Picon mimicked the cheerleaders in a light- hearted assembly engineered by the C. S. F. to begin the weekend. In the evening after a beeping, screeching car parade which in- cluded a traveling band, approximately 850 people crammed the aud for the rally. As usual, Earl Knowles, M. C., enjoyed sharing the stage with these lovely girls - Queen Ada Rae Wellbaum, Princesses Shari McKean and Marian Reece, and Attendants Diane Cassel, Phyllis Oswald, Edna Hudson, Jay- deen Burke, Dorothy Goodman, Roberta Wil- son, and Mary Ellen Still. The team climbed out of their uniforms long enough to be intro- duced. Tommy Burke, QB Club president and guest speaker, cautioned the boys to fight but fight fair. Up in Smoke Next there was a general exodus to watch the newly elected co-captains, Wesley Plam- beck and Ronnie Baxter fsee cutj, ignite the bonfire. Simultaneously the T was outlined in flames as the seventh and eighth grade boys lit the torches. Led by our majorettes and their energetic mascot, Kathy Skibinski Csee cutj, the float parade began promptly at noon. Mirroring the town's reaction to the game, the QB Club float showed a Tornado roaring through the Needles team and leaving them prostrate. Win Streak Renewed A fitting climax to the weekend was the 32-6 trouncing Trona gave Needles to renew our winning streak in Homecoming games. No hard feelings, however, were brought to the dinner for the two teams, the coaches, and their dates. The dance afterwards was packed with students and alumni. Students thronged around Art Large of Needles as he, with Ronnie Baxter on the drums, beat out I Don't Know. Blues numbers by Art fsee cutj continued to hold everyone spellbound.
