A float depicting a giant football was called "Redskins can Handle the.Kgskin." The Senior float read "Gopher Iti" and showed a large gopher with his head sticking up on a football field.
The FFA Float read "We'll take to Market." This float showed a butcher carving a knife, a sheep and a refrigerator which read Hampshire Locker room. The next float depicted a Redskin player whipping Hampshire players who bowed down. It read "U-Skins Whip them Whippurs" and was from the Athletic Boosters.

GRAFTON TWP. OPEN HOUSE OCTOBER 12th
On Sunday, October 12, Grafton Township will be hosting an Open House for its recently completed cjffice addition.
This will bring to a dose a culmination of efforts that began with the hiring of Richard Link as architect in Februaiy of 1978. Major Builders Inc. were contracted to build the addition in November of the same year.
To keep the total costs to a minimum, Grafton Township employees and elected officials spent - many hours to complete several parts of the building addition themselves. The total cost of the building, office furahure and outside improvemetits was slightly under $69,500.00. Over 75% of this was funded thru Federal Revenue Sharing receipts and the balance was covered by interest received on money in deposits and inter-fand transfers. The net result is a building that has been completed without increasing any taxes.
Please mark October 12th on your calendar and make a point to visit our new facilities.
