HOMECOMING A quirk in the Cedarville football schedule caused the annual football homecoming to be 11314:1 unusually early this year. Since all the October games were to be played away from home, the homecoming day had to be set for September 30, thus avoiding the cold November weather. The Homecoming Day activities began with a parade up Main Street, led by the Cedarville High School band. The crux of the parade consisted of floats, built by the fraternities, and a convertible in which the queen, Margaret Swaney, and her two attendants, Mary French and Rebecca Creswell, rode. The parade ended in a flourish at the football field, where the queen was presented with a spray of flowers by the co-captains of the football team, James Wagner and Homer Burton. The opposition for the homecoming football game was furnished by Ashland College, and opposition it was, as the Yellow Jackets came out on the short end of the 28-19 score. The alumni banquet followed, at which Mr. Miller, Acting President of the College, spoke to the alumni. In the evening, the Homecoming dance was held in the High School auditorium, brightly decorated by the Student Council. It was here that the homecoming activities, for the 1950 football season, came to an end.
