We The People Celebrate In the Summer of 1787 the forefathers of the Unit¬ ed States met in Philadel¬ phia in the sweltering heat to draw up the Constitu¬ tion for the new country. What they came up with has lasted longer than any other form of government in history. On September 17,1987 , two-hundred years later, area schools, and organi¬ zations attended a Bicen¬ tennial celebration at James Madison Universi¬ ty ' s Convocation Center. The ceremonies consisted of speeches from Robert Stone, a local lawyer, and other area figures. Per¬ forming before the crowd, the All City-County Band played patriotic and Amer¬ ican composed songs. As the ceremony came to a close, clubs and schools were asked to come for¬ ward with objects to put in a time capsyle. Tina Sellers said, “It ' s interesting to know that in 100 years people can open it up and see what life was like for us. ' ' Shannon Dove placed a copy of the S.C.A. Con¬ stitution, a 1986-87 “Memories , and letters from students among the items to be preserved. At the end of the program, people were invited to sign a mock Constitution. Sara Dickenson said that she “felt it needed to be organized better, so kids participate more. Other students enjoyed it, such as Todd McClure who stated “Yes, I enjoyed it, it was neat and educational. The idea of the ceremo¬ ny was to bring people to¬ gether to share the feeling of patriotism. As one stu¬ dent said “The best part was that it brought togeth¬ er people from all parts.

Break Tradition Although to most stu¬ dents homecoming is, as Jeremy Breneman says, “very worthwhile because it brings past and present generations together ' it is an annual event which tends to become ordinary and perhaps a little dull. Many evident but subtle changes kept this year ' s homecoming from becom¬ ing a monotonous event. ' ' Spirit Week saw the most changes as “Hill Bil¬ ly day and “Camouflage day replaced last year ' s “Bum and “Toga days. Lisa Meny says “some of the spirit days are still strange. Perhaps the change that was appreciated most by students was the change of the homecoming dance from Friday night to Sat¬ urday night. This change caused some minor prob¬ lems since the school caf¬ eteria, the usual setting of the dances,was occupied that evening. Nevertheless, last minute changes were made and the dance proceeded at nearby Plains Elementary School. Mrs. Liskey favors having the dance changed because “It makes the dance seem more special if it is on a separate night than the game. Lisa Slater was crowned Homecoming Queen dur¬ ing the halftime show of the football game against the Fort Defiance Indians. Even though the Indians defeated the Gobblers, Jer¬ ry Gowl says “The best part of Homecoming was the game because there was so much more cheer¬ ing than usual. Brian Meny has one sug¬ gestion for a better Home¬ coming, “It would be in- finately better if there was a Homecoming King, he says with a chuckle. TITLE WAVE.
