Kom omif fl 21 Homecoming “77” “Over Power Eisenhower” and “Psych Ike were well known phrases throughout our school during homecoming week. With more students participating in pepfests and more all around spirit, this year's homecoming turned out to be one of our very best. Many original ideas were created to make students become more enthusiastic. The tug-of-war, the autosmash and the pie-throw are only a few of the activities that went on during the lunch periods. Casino Night proved to be lots of fun, followed by the Bon Fire which psyched us up and got everyone excited for the big game. Cheri Greene commented, For being my first year at Cooper, homecoming was much more fun than I’d ever expected! Homecoming was off to a big start. Everyone was full of spirit and excitement. As well as the team being “up for the game, the fans were ready too. Unfortunately, it seemed, the weather was not quite ready, and the football game had to be postponed because of rain. On the night the game was rescheduled, instead of raining it snowed. Our Hawk players proved to be tough and played out the game. Suzi Saba expressed her feelings, I thought they looked like monsters from the mud lagoon playing mudball. No matter what the weather, the fans wouldn't be kept away from coming and cheering on our winning Hawks. We got a commanding lead in spite of the weather, said Dennis Scherz, a member of our Cooper team. We lived up to our reputation as Cooper came out with a tremendous victory over Eisenhower. 7
