Panther Is Prowling at Palmetto High

Kicking-off the Prowl at 4 p.m. will be a huge parade. Colorful floats entered by Palmetto clubs, teams, and classes, and decorated cars will comprise this parade headed by the Homecoming queen and her court. The parade will begin at school and travel to Suniland Shopping Center. The queen will be announced Nov. 22 in the special homecoming edition of the Palmetto Panther, newspaper. Her Majesty is selected from one of these senior princesses: Cathy Copley, Kay Seiler, Marlou Morton, Mary VanderBrook and Sandy Griffiths. Representing the junior class in her court are Gloria Germain and Micki McClure. Sophomore Class: Susie Duckworth. Freshman Class: Leslie Kehoe. Next on the agenda of Prowl events (following the parade) will be a Thanksgiving dinner sponsored by the Palmetto Booster's Club. The dinner will last from 5 to 7 p.m. in the school cafeteria. Following dinner, skits prepared by clubs will be performed around a huge bonfire. Cheerleaders will be leading cheers all evening to augment the festivities of the Panther Prowl. Thursday morning (Nov. 23) at 10 the Palmetto Panthers will challenge the South Dade Rebels in the homecoming football game at Homestead Park.
