L.C.T.S. Homecoming Parade To Come Up Main St. For First Time

Staff Report

Fall 1952

For the first time, the Lake County Training School will be allowed to extend their annual homecoming day parade route down Main Street, City Commissioners decided Monday night, setting a precedent in Leesburg.

School principal P. E. Williams said that they would like more people to see the parade by allowing it to come at least two blocks past Canal Street, their limit in past years.

Commissioner Tim Knowles inquired how the school became limited, and was told by City Manager Keener Mizell that “It has been suggested they not come up Main Street.”

“They’ll have to cut it short if they want to stay on Main Street, because it ties up traffic,” Police Chief Bill Fisher said.

Knowles asked if the only objection to the parade was the traffic difficulty and Fisher replied, “Yes.”

Carver Heights Trojans vs. Fernandina Peck Wolves, High School Football Game

Homecoming Game Set For Thursday By Carver Trojans

Coach Hubert Dabney's Carver Heights High Trojans return home this week to celebrate Homecoming against the Peck High Wolves of Fernandina.

The Trojans unofficially won the Central Florida Athletic Conference last week when they virtually ran Cocoa off the field by the score of 64-0. The homecoming opponent is a member of the Northeast Athletic Conference and will be paying their first visit to Leesburg.

Since little is known here concerning the Wolves, Dabney and his staff have been constantly drilling the Trojans, injecting several new patterns, checking blocking assignments and giving them the overall works.

The staff feels that these things were necessary because of the fear that "big-headedness" may take over since the fellows have gone undefeated in conference play and only one loss chalk against them for the season.

The Trojans Homecoming Parade will be Thursday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. featuring six big bands and floats of all kind. The parade will start from Lake and Pine streets and then move down town. These activities will then be culminated by the game between the Wolves and the Trojans.
