“We had one long ribbon that had all the players names on it.” ~ Martha Taylor “Changing the “N” on Norman’s football field to an “M” the night before Homecoming.” ~ Stephen Waide They took Del City’s eagle.” ~ Estrella Ecnan It is no longer acceptable to place a big smack right on the lips! A possible exception may be if the couple is dating? Can anyone tell us if those involved are specifically told they cannot kiss? Or is just that no one gets a photo and/or said photo doesn’t make the yearbook(s)? So many questions! It appears that the practice of the “king” or escort kissing the newly crowned queen has changed slightly. When freshman were added to the high school, they were assigned black. Blue was assigned to seniors, red to juniors, and white to sophomores. Perhaps it was in the 90s that royalty attendants were assigned a particular color of formal dress to wear based on their year. Maybe this was in the 00s? At least, the football players aren’t all sweaty and the pictures are much better with sunlight! There seemed to be years when a dance was very popular and some that one didn’t even exist!Īt some point in time, the ceremonial crowning of the homecoming queen was moved from halftime to before the game. They were something to collect!Ī Homecoming Dance was held sporadically. Some were quite large, but I remember small ones being ‘sold’ for each game.
Ribbons that were pinned to a mum or worn alone were popular from the 60s into the early 90s. Of course, they were never Texas size, but they are apparent in photos. Mums were popular at least through the 80s, possibly into the 90s or 00s here and there. I am pretty sure candy being thrown randomly and wildly has always been a part of it. The route has changed slightly over the years. I can’t confirm that they were held in the 60s when the high school was not yet located on Eastern Avenue. Parades have been held as far back as the early 70s. (Confusing? Maybe that’s why it didn’t last long!) When that queen was named at the ceremony, she then crowned the attendant as queen of her sport. The themes have certainly been creative.ĭuring the mid 70s, there were a few years that an “All Sports Queen” was selected as part of the football homecoming. For the last several decades, spirit days are organized during homecoming week and Moore War week. However, a western day has often been held during spirit weeks over the years. At that time, it may have been one day or several during the week. In the 70s, the week before homecoming was called Western Days instead of Spirit Week. Here are things I observed during my research. BOE Special Called Meeting (School Improvement Plans) 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM. Over the decades, some traditions waned, some new ones started, and some morphed slightly. 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Central Office - Boardroom.
