Homecoming Means Traditional Festivities Homecoming week has traditionally been a time for many class competitions. This year there was a powder puff football game, where sophomore and senior girls competed against the junior and freshman girls. Although it was a very competitive game, it ended in a tie 0-0. A theme is chosen every year for Homecoming week and this year it was A Passage Through Time ' During the week there were dress-up competitions which dealt with different eras in time: depression, future, reversal, any era, and blue and white day. Each day someone was chosen as best dressed and was to march in their costume at the parade. Highlighting all festivities though is the traditional float competition. Each class chooses an idea, which deals with the theme in some way. Not very often does a class win all four years they are in high school, but the class of 1984 proved it could be done. (1) The seniors' freshman year float won with what they called The Blue Machine. (2) Their sophomore year the theme was Movies, and their float won with Super J's. (3) Song Titles, was chosen as the theme their junior year and they won with Jays Are On Top of the World. (4) The float they chose their senior year featured past, present, and future. Past: the record between SWH, their opponent the last three years; Present: expectations of the evening's outcome; and Future: a rocket, which would explode into victory for the Bluejays. 17
