Knowing the honor came from my peers is most important. The night of Homecoming I felt like l was the happiest person in the world. The game added even more excitement to the even- ing with a score of 33-20 and was a perfect precursor for the dance immediately afterwards. Many found on that special night that you don't have to go over the rainbow to find happiness because all the love and friendship you'll ever need is right in your own backyard. 28fHIGHLIGHTS Cas.
