A tradition for the past 26 years, seniors and club members were permitted on the field for the symbolic lighting ceremony.

It felt so good hearing the crowd go radical as the E began to light up, said senior Marie Esparza. It became a moment for reflection-upon the events of the evening, upon the events of three previous years of high school. The ceremonies had begun as everyone in the stadium rose for the presenting of the colors which were posted by the JROTC color guard. The band struck up the Star Spangled Banner to add to the tribute. Several groups performed for the celebration. The pom pon squad joined the varsity cheerleaders in a dance to Nockers. Performing for the students was a real great experience that not many people can do, said senior Kara Douglass. Along with other performances were Saltatrix who danced the Salsation and the Trooperettes who danced to A'Opportunities and Velcro Fly. Although I was excited, I was really nervous because it was one of those times when I knew I had to do my best, said senior Eunice Moreno. Seated on the field the band members were a big part of the evening's mood. While the percussion section performed a solo, the rest of the band went sick and danced in snake formations. Some underclassmen hoped that the togetherness that seniors had would also be around for them when they become seniors. I hope that when I become a senior, I'll be even more enthusiastic, said junior Lorraine Ellis. Many underclassmen just wanted to get into the spirit of things. I wish more people would get involved in school spirit, said freshman Leslie Wingo. I know itis a long ladder, and I still have some steps to go, said freshman Stephanie Edwards. I'll do the best that I can, added Edwards. Burning of the E 13
