Natalie Gibson Leslie Hayes Homecoming Proves a Success Traces of low spirits could be detected during the first part of the week; but by Friday everyone was flying high. This was the first year in a long time that most of the people seemed to have participated in or helped with the ceremonies. The week was shortened because of no school on Monday for Columbus Day. Tuesday was Hat Day and Baggy Day and both guys and girls participated. Cowboy hats seemed to be the most popular. A few people borrowed their parent’s or boyfriend’s clothes to be baggy and many wore overalls. The typical 50’s Day was Wednesday, with bobby socks, rolled up jeans, pony tails, and lipstick. Many bold lip-marks could be found on both guys’ and girls' cheeks. This day was also the start of the gym decorating. The halls were stampeded by elephants, bears, mice, cats, and dogs on Security Day — luckily they were all stuffed. Thursday seemed to be the day for the girls to go back to their early childhood. Thursday night, a few people joined the cheerleaders in the roasting of the Panthers at the Bonfire. Finishing up the loose ends of decorating the gym and organizing the parade and ceremonies seemed to take up most of Friday, but the students still had time to dress up in their best. The Homecoming Week ended successfully being the first win of the season against Tripoli 20-14. The dance was also a success with Steadfast playing hard rock. a.
