floats It was 1 :45 p.m. A crowd surrounded the fences as the Band began to play. The front car started to roll, and the 1976 Warren Central Homecoming Pa- rade was on its way. Forty groups of students slowly rounded the corner at Woodview Junior High School. With the parade ending at Warren Central, parade participants and students stayed for the pep session. Occasionally drivers of the taller floats had to be slowly guided under hanging stoplights and low branches on trees. The students’ major concern was to keep their floats all in one piece during the parade, or at least until it had passed the judges’ stand. Several students, uncertain that their giant Warrior, tee pee or goal posts would remain standing throughout the pa- rade, kept watchful eyes on their floats. The Class of ’77, striving for its third victory, was disappointed when the ju- niors took first place. Some minor problems did occur with the senior float, however. The senior float began to lose a few of its parts. First the goal posts came down and then the War- rior. By the time the seniors parked their float in the lot, plans were already in the making to rebuild it quickly. What ' s that you say? ' Warren Way,’ or No Way” was the theme of the junior’s win- ning class float. Vitality Homecoming Parade

weather annga ou warm crowc By game time Friday night, the stands were packed with close to 4,500 fans cheering for a “victory.” At halftime, students strained their ears above the noise of the enthusi- astic crowd to hear senior Monica Hartley announced as the 1976 Home- coming Queen. After a disappointing 21-14 loss to North Central, students and alumni were invited to the Homecoming Dance for a little boogie’n with the WE DM rock jocks. When the dance was over, students piled into cars to invade nearby pizza places and then proceeded onto numerous parties. Various other activities, besides the game, took place throughout the week. On Tuesday night the second annual Boys’ Beauty Contest con- vened in the auditorium. Mr. Rick Reed, English teacher and 1975 boy beauty, crowned his successor, senior Terry Johnson, as the most eligible guy. Homecoming wasn’t complete until the special dress days were finished. Monday students and faculty came to school dressed down and then dressed up on Tuesday. Wednesday was appointed for favorite comic book hero, which was followed by jersey day on Thursday. On Friday everyone was decked out in loyal black and gold. Rowdy members destroy the 35 x 45 foot sign in seconds. The sign took Miss Jan Conner, physical education teacher, about 20 hours to make.
