Aini-Float Contest Launches Homecoming Activities rf it gs, . , Q , T Homecoming Day sneaked up like an opposing team's score. Some students, however, were prepared, ready and waiting for the start of the pep assembly and the mini- float contest. All clubs were eligible to enter a float and booster spirit for homecoming. The mini-floats were wheeled into the pep assembly to begin the action. A board of iudges chose Future Teachers of America's entry Going Out Of My Head , as the contest's outstanding float. Spirit rose as the day progressed and at eight o'clock, the Generals were out in full force. As usual, the unpredictable factor, the weather, chose an inopportune time to be dis- agreeable. The rain could not dampen spirits, but the loss to Enid, TO-7, was enough to dampen anyone's spirit. Homecoming night, the last game of the season, the best season in ten years, as the Generals sang Dear Grant High in the rain, they held their heads up with pride. The coronation of Football Queen was forced to go inside because of the weather, instead of its usual position on the football field at halftime. The boys' gym did have its advantages, however. The student body got a better view of the royalty than before. Elected by the varsity football team, these five girls were representatives of the 36 varsity players and their efforts. Escorted by James Rhodes, Pam Cable was the Sophomore attendant. Juniors, Candy Keith and Billie Shelton were escorted by Tony Mitchell and Donnie Rinkle. Debbie Am- brose, escorted by Don Poe and Jo Stewart, escorted by Bobby Grimes were elected from the Senior class. Finally the big moment, Jo Stewart was announced as football's leading lady. Congratulations followed at the dance, not only for the new queen, but also for the T969 varsity squad. JP ABOVE: Senior homecoming tat is presented by Terry Richard- n and Darla Hatmaker.

December Toys For Tots Drive Arouses Pre-Christmas Aura p .. W X 5,1 'A I x No one was prepared for the feverish, last-minute activity that came with December. Studying became the least of a student's worries as he or she struggled with that ever-longer Christmas list, planned for the holiday ahead, and cheered the beginning of a new basketball and wrestling season. Even the teachers seemed to forget schoolwork, as they abandoned lesson plans, and with them, any hope for or- ganization. Those few who stubbornly held on to schedules drowned in a sea of assemblies and rallies, and a tidal wave of Christmas spirit. School couldn't be entirely forgotten, though. There were still those term papers due before vacation and the rush of tests given to get them out of the way. It was impossible to keep the Christmas spirit from invading Grant. Student Council saw a good thing and took advantage of it by organizing the Toys for Tots drive. The feeling of good will was evident as the students decorated the halls and doorways of Grant with an enthusiasm that hadn't been seen since last vacation.
