Homecoming Plans Add New Sparkle
For the first time, the annual Homecoming dance will be held in the auditorium on October 14, from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. The auditorium will be decorated appropriate to the theme, "The Sound of Victory."

Tickets are now on sale in the cafeteria at $2 per couple, and attire is Sunday best. Refreshments of punch and donuts will be served in the auditorium. There will also be a combo to play both slow and fast music.

Float building began October 7 and ended October 12, and all floats centered around the theme, "Movies." Students who offered their homes as float headquarters were Sue Odom, Senior Class; Debbie Fowler, Junior Class; Debbie Paulin, Sophomore Class; and Debbie Ritchie, Freshman Class.

Float building also took place at the homes of Val Martin, Pom-Pon and Pep Club; Linda Douglas, French Club; and Bob Brown, Band. Tony Tosterud acted as floats chairman.

The parade will begin today at 2 p.m. at Lake Opeka and will travel up Lee to Thacker where it will be met by the Band.

At the Post Office the Band will disperse, and the floats will continue to the school.
 Preceding the parade, at 1:25 p.m. in the stadium a pep rally will be held which all students are required to attend. At the rally, the Homecoming Court will be presented; Pom-Pon Squad will perform; and there will be speakers from the football team and the cross country team. Sponsoring the pep rally is Pep Club.
