The Kokomo Morning Times   10/13/1967


Text description of some of the events at their annual Homecoming Parade -

Some 30 floats traveled in the parade and all had one theme: Beat the Indians.

"The only good Indian is a dead Indian." "We'll smash 'em, we'll scalp 'em." all referring to the South Bend St Joseph's Indians football team, which will play the Wildcats tonight.

Students in the wierdest make-ups from a poor dead Indian to a hippie rode the floats, and the Kokomo High School Band led the way.
