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.

  The following is a list of alumni members who 
registered at the Homecoming held Friday at the high 
school:
