Tammie Brown Pedersen defined Homecoming as being very special to all the students and one of the main highlights of high school. Highlight? Yes. very much so in Exira. where Homecoming has become a major event every year. To get everyone all psyched up for the big game, the cheerlead- ers designated each day a special spirit day the week before the game. Monday was Red and Black day. while Tuesday was Hat Day . Hats of all sorts decorated the halls of E.H.S. — everything from brightly-colored fishing hats to ole dusty Purina caps. Sock-it-to-'em Day fell on Wednesday, with everyone showing their legs, or their wild and crazy socks! Thursday was the day most teachers dreaded — Whistle Day. Whenever a cheerleader blew a whistle, everyone screamed Beat Greenfield! Those people who were not deaf before that day certainly were afterwards! Finally, to show respect for the mighty Vikings, who were about to battle their way through perhaps their most memorable game of the year, everyone dug deep into their closet and dressed up. Blue jeans were tossed aside to make way for the fancier duds. Some looked so dif- ferent that the teachers had trouble recognizing them.
