SPIRIT — It’s Coming, It’s Coming . . . As the days grew nearer to homecoming, the excitement mounted. We wondered if our football team would break its tradition of never losing a homecoming game, or if we would be asked to the dance or who should we ask or wondering to whom to send a mum. We decided not to let the school down with an apathetic student body so we were abundant in spirit. Each day was fun one from Sock It to ’Em” to 50 s Day to Hats Off” day to the final and most important True Blue” day. The school day ended with an assembly to beat all others and then on to our parade, the biggest in Centennial’s history. The Varsity Show built up spirit to its peak as we all readied for the game. Knowing that victory was ours made the excitement in the air electric. And Mike Hoch could not help but be caught up in it! 29
