Seventy-five years have passed since the first Homecoming game, with the country electing a dozen presidents, fighting and resolving wars, and undergoing significant cultural changes, including the evolution of music from sock hops to hip hop.
The world of 1950 differs vastly from that of today's high school students in 2025, with advancements in technology, such as the transition from black and white TV, and social changes, including the desegregation of schools.
Despite these changes, Key West High School's football team continues to uphold its hometown traditions, including the annual Homecoming game, which will take place this week, featuring the crowning of the 75th Homecoming queen, voted by her fellow students.
The Homecoming queen will be crowned during halftime of the game on Friday evening, marking a significant milestone in the school's history.
The island still treasures its hometown traditions.
