From the Estherville Democrat, Estherville,
Emmet County, Iowa, November 10, 1926:
HOMECOMING WAS A BIG SUCCESS
Over Two Hundred Alumni Were Registered -
Will Be An Annual Affair
The first homecoming ever staged by the high school
was a decided success from every angle. To begin with
the day was ideal and brought a great many visitors
from neighboring towns to attend this affair.
Registration of alumni began early Thursday evening
and continued on throughout Friday. The pep meeting
Thursday evening was attened by an unusually large
crowd and was cleverly carried out. On Friday morning
classes were carried on as usual and at noon the parade
took place. A number of beautifully decorated floats
were used as well as several of the more comic features.
Practically every organization in the high school was
represented by some sort of a float. The prize for the
most artistically decorated float was awarded to the
Quill and Scroll club.
In the afternoon the two big football games were
staged. An account of these appears elsewhere in the
paper. There were two hundred alumni who registered
for this event. Several of the classes met together
and enjoyed informal dinners but there were no class
reunions held. It is the aim of the instigators of
this affair to make the homecoming an annual
celebration in the Estherville high school. Work will
be started early enough next year so that it will be
possible to hold class reunions and other numbers that
could not be carried out now because of lack of time.
