Q' its it X Shower of confetti Clown Troupe members Shawna Tortolini The band was playing, the players were ready, and everyone was in good spirit. It was that homecoming time of year. Rains played a big part in home- coming this year. Up until the last minute it wasn't known whether it would stop raining long enough to have the parade. The administration held off making a decision about the parade in hope the weather would clear. It finally did and for long enough to get the parade in between thunderstorms. There were a lot of winners and los- ers at this years homecoming. Of the winners was Dana Higgs, the baseball princess who became the first repre- sentative of a sport other than football to be crowned all-sports queen. I just can't believe I was the one who won, said Higgs. Another winner was the senior float. Using the theme Twist and Shout the float beat all other competitors for the coveted blue rib- bon. Among the losers were four people who had been chosen to represent their respective sports in the festivi- ties. After an incident which involved the egging of the junior float, Donita Goodin, girls basketball princessp Bri- an Amend, golf escort, Ron Hall, foot- ball escortg and Matt Santos, baseball escort, were all barred from any homecoming activities. Brian Amend said, I think the administration was way out of line. Another loser was the Eagle football team. Putnam West came from behind in the final minute to defeat the home team 14-13 after a hard fought battle in which the Eagles led the whole game. I just knew we were going to win this game, said Senior Paul Casperson, this happens every time . After overcoming some of the prob- lems including the weather this homecoming was well received by all. Angel Tindell clown around before Homecoming parade. Photo by C. I . . df'

The bonfire proceeded with spirits soaring, and confidence instilled. Members of the Del City High School Band, were present and their music led to the arousal of the students' spir- it and pride. The bonfire caused a lot of adrena- lin to be pumped, which was needed I 20 Bonfire for the big football game against the Edmond Bulldogs. The Eagles had been at loss and were looking forward to the game as an enormous victory. The game was lost to the Eagles at a close 25-Z1 win for the Bulldogs.
