HOME .COMING Traveling! Trips! Yes, that was what we decided to do the latter part of October. So, after a great deal of preparation and planning we finally took off to the Big City of Turtle Lake, and when we arrived here on the 30th of October, we found the whole town buzzing about some great event that was about to take place. After listening to a great deal of conversation, we found out they were starting their Homecoming Festivities that night. Everyone was welcome so at eight o'c1ock, we joined the rest of the people who had gathered at the school house, to hear the band play, and listen to the talks given by some of the former athletes of T. L. H. S. Our own players were present to give talks also. A snake dance then proceeded down through the town led by our cheerleaders. After this, the bonfire was lighted and the usual amount of cheers were given again. Finding out that the main events would take place the next day, everyone decided to go home about ten-thirty. The next afternoon a parade of floats proceeded down town led by the American Legion and the band. Prizes were given to the Red and White Store, F. F, A, and the Freshman Class for presenting the bestfloats although there were many other good ones. That evening we folmd ourselves at the football field listening to the band. At eight o'clock the big game between Bruce and Turtle Lake began. It was a scoreless tie at the half when the band did their maneuvering. After this entertainment was over our boys came back and won the garne 14-6. After the game, in the town hall, we found things going in full swing with music being furnished by the Black Hawk orchestra. Soon we spied five girls in formals and after inquiring we found that they were candidates for Home Coming Queen. At eleven o'clock we found out that Pearl Eder had been chosen queen. It was indeed a lovely sight when she and her four attendants, Loretta Cordes, J'oAnn Gall, Eloise King, and Mary 'Jane Peterson led the grand march which was the high light of the evening. The dance drew to a close with everyone satisfied with the enjoyment they had.
