In spite of the smoke, high spirits dominated the new bonfire rally Those who weren't gathering wood were helping carry out the annual float build- ing contest. Many students turned out to help build some of the best floats ever at Uintah. With the theme as Utes Are Now many late night hours were spent working and planning the floats. Some worked until two or three o'clock in the morning. Those who worked hard felt they had outstanding floats. Friday morning everyone who helped build floats felt proud as their float passed by them in the parade, anticipating which float would win the sweepstakes of $25. Students and community members enjoyed the parade and felt it was a great success.

MP MUD mwi m WERE FUN FOR SPECTATORS PARTICIPANTS ALIKE. Every morning of Homecoming at 6:30 sharp you could see two teams prac- ticing. The Senior and Junior girls were working to get ready for the big game. The girls with little or no experience soon found out that it isn't an easy sport. They had hard practices, many bruises and sore muscles. On the day of the game all the students watched as the two teams fought for a victory. It was a tough game and the score remained 0-0. Although it was fun. many girls were ready to hang up their uniforms and leave the football playing to the football team for the rest of the year. Putting on a helmet was harder than it looked After a hard game, the score remained 0-0 10 HOMECOMING Home Heating is available at SEARLE GAS SAVING CENTER
