Highlights From Clinton High a Jam A'** “And then the rains came .. .” could very well be the title for any story dealing with CHS Homecoming for 1963. It wouldn’t have been so bad if it had been raining all day, but instead, the day began bright and sunny with Just a few small, insignificant clouds, which piled themselves together and conspir ed to dump their very wet con tents on South Broad Street at exactly 4:35 last Friday after noon. From the time of their dismis- sla at noon until 4:30 the indus trious CHS’ers were busy dec orating everything from the goal posts of Wilder Stadium to the Transportation Club's bus, using everything from crepe paper to miniature steam engines. Somehow everything was ready; and all the cars, spon sors ,b4|<kl members, and Miss By DISHIE DELANY CHS candidates were in line and ready to go by 4:30. Need I say more? You all know what happened! At 4:35—just as the last entry of the parade had entered South Broad—the deluge came! For those of you who didn’t get to see the parade line up before the cloudburst, here it is: The Student Council car led the line, followed by the Red Devil Band, which was followed by Sammy Smith, the crown-bearer, and the three Miss CHS finalists, Patsy Henderson, Sandra Hug gins, and Connie Simmons. Next came the cheerleaders, who In cluded in addition to the regu lars Julia Sadler, Brenda Watts, Francis Robbins, and Irene Hen derson, substitutes Dianne Pitts, Kathy Smith, Sue O’Dell, and Andi Stroud. Then there were the cars of the girls sponsored by senior football players. These included Mary Jane Addison, sponsored by Billy Shields; Dianne Asbill, Jack McKittrick; Sister Blalock, John Paul McKee; Nancy Stump, Harold Culbertson; Mary Ellen Cornwall, Bruce Dixon; Mary Nettles, Bobby Haskins; Kathy Rimer, Shelton Rimer; Linda Rogers, William Woody; Kathy Salter, William Adair; Martha White, Marion Freeman; Fran ces Wilkie, Billy Trammell; and Irene Vaughan, Phil Rogers. Following the sponsors were the cars for the officers of va rious clubs and organizations. They included the Future Home makers of America, the Journal ism Club, the Future Business Leaders of America, the Nation al Honor Society, the Chem-Bi- Phi-Science Club, the Block C Club float, the Transportation Club, the Beta Club, the Junior Classical League, the Sentinel staff members, and the Trans- portation Club bus. Despite the rain which showed little sign of abating even as dusk fell, the homecoming canteen was held in the gym. At the can teen Patsy Henderson was crowned Miss CHS. The game with Newberry, which was called off Friday, was played Monday night, and the half-time show originally plan ned for Friday was given then. As the CHS band played “Ma ria’’ the senior sponsors, Miss CHS, Patsy Henderson, and her attendants, Sandra Huggins and Connie Simmons, strolled onto the field.
