Add that to your regular work and what you do in band, football, volleyball. Pom-pons, cheerleading, etc., and you may look back later and wonder how you found time to do it — but it's always fun. At least this year it was fun up to Wednesday night when a certain thing happened and caused the bonfire to be canceled. (Thanks.) But that was soon forgotten, and we did the usual things like cramming twenty people into a pickup truck to ride around and paint the roads and tee pee various places. Everyone then went home to wash off the shaving cream and get ready for Friday with no classes — finest kind! The Friday movies were “Little Rascals” and “Take Down. The smells of popcorn and other food filled the auditorium and the forbidden soda cans were everywhere. Then the pep-rally, with so many skits that we didn't get to do them all. The MC from Alsey was cool, and the Hawk died — too bad! Then the floats lined up for judging near the bus garage, and the parade made its way past the grade school and uptown. Nobody's float fell apart, and it was generally agreed that all the floats were the best in years. One new feature — several people dressed up and marched in the parade. Maybe more will next year? It was good to see all the old grads at the game. We wiped out the Carrollton Hawks — what a great Homecoming victory! Everyone was ready to celebrate. Then it was time to hurry, hurry to get ready for the dance, with the Rockatomix. Finally the day was over. We were glad at the time, but now that we look back, we wish it could have lasted forever.
