Her attendants were Laurene Mabry, Betty Brooks, Carolyn Sears, and Billye Brooks. Time passes so swiftlyfit had been a long time since most of the alumni had gathered for Auld lang Syne. Once again old friends met to see a pep parade, promoted by the students to arouse interest in the Homecoming. Leadf ing the parade was the band, followed by the cheerleaders, pep club, the student body, school buses, and decorated cars. That night our team met Champaign for the big Homecoming game. On Saturday, under the direction ot Miss Barr and Miss Upchurch, the gym was aayly decorated for the dance, held that night. The music was furnished by Bob Burgess and his Centralia orchestra, other entertainment was given by the Thespians and the Octette. Under the direction ot Mrs, Cramer, the home economic girls served refreshments, consisting of punch and cookies. The registration committee reported that approximately three hundred guests had registered. This years Homecoming was sponsored by the senior class and the Vandalois staff, who hope they have helped to make Homecoming and annual event in the years to come. 44 63 D7
