Thursday appeared and on this day many of the kids wore football jerseys of all sizes and colors. The students then went to the voting polls and voted for who they'd wish would come aivay the victor. The volleyball girls also had a volleyball game on Thursday evening against the Manilla Hawks. Exira came away the victor and filled the air with more exciting static. Following the volleyball game many of the students young and old held their annual snake dance from the high school to the dump where they held the bonfire to fire up the football players for the big game on Friday night. The activities continued on Friday with school being dismissed early at 1:15 for the coronation of the queen. The suspense built all morning.

The time then came for everyone to file downtown to watch the annual parade in which each class entered a float. There were several other floats in the parade along with the band and drill team. The grade school students participated in the parade also cheering on the Vikings. Then everyone filed to the city park for the pep rally where everyone fired up the football players and got them excited for the big event. The Exira Vikings hosted the 5th ranked team Class A, the Walnut Warriors. The Vikings were down 6 to nothing at halftime and that lead was later extended to 18 to nothing with Walnut being the victors. The Vikes played a very good game in the eyes of the Exira coaches and had little reason to hang their heads. Everyone then put on his dancing shoes and proceeded to the dancing floor. After the football game, the annual homecoming dance was held with the band Hard Times playing. The dance started at 9:30 and lasted till 12:30. The students then filed out, some happy, some still disappointed about the game.
