omecoming Theme causes controversy; Fireworks add to festivities. Everything from fireworks to controversy over the theme were facets of this year's Football Homecoming. As the fireworks exploded, sen- ior Cindy Passmore was crowned Queen of Ceremonies with junior Amanda Ruple as her Princess of Honor. The theme of Homecoming, God Bless the USA, was in commemoration of the 200th Birthday of the Constitution of the United States. Sophomore John Steward said the school may be contradicting itself in using this theme. The theme was a good idea and so I thought it was great, but no law requires anyone to be of a certain religion or even any reli- gion at all, Steward said. Now there is a separation of church and state. They’ve even taken prayer out of the schools then they turn around and make it a theme. On the other hand, some stu- dents said the theme was a good one. I think it was a good theme, sophomore Michelle Lett said. I agreed with it. Disagreement over the Homecoming theme was not the only sore spot among stu- dents during the festivities. Some students said the pep rally needed more spirit. Senior Mark Barr said the pep rally could have been spiced up. It was dull, Barr said. We should have at least been in our home stands. Last year was better; it just seemed like we had a lot more spirit for our team. GOD BLESS THE USA.
