We Celebrate As One Alumni Rap Is A A As Homecoming Week came to a close, Astros greeted Friday, dressing in black and gold as an expression of their love for Fred- erick Douglass High. The day started with the Royal Breakfast, and the festivities continued with the Royal Pep Session. At the call for the drummers, a tingle of an- ticipation was felt throughout the gym. The Royal Court was intro- duced by Master and Misstress of ceremonies Brian Daniel and Deborah Scandrett. Miss Doug- lass expressed words of grati- tude and a song was sung in her honor. The band treated its fans to the popular hit, Alligator Woman while our own alligator woman entertained us. The emotions were so strong that one might have described them as feelings when Your whole soul is fire, every nerve strung — every faculty you possess ready to perform at a moments bigging. — Frederick Douglass The enthusiasm continued through the afternoon to the Alumni Rap. Graduates returned to discuss their accomplish- ments and the years they had spent at Douglass. The Good Buddy System which helped east the transition of students coming to Douglass from many schools was a topic of special recollec- tion. A special moment indicated the feeling graduates had for their Alma Mater as they stood as one big family and sang the school song. The main event of the day took place at Lakewood Stadium. High spirited fans filled the stands. Even the rain couldn ' t dampen the atmosphere. The team matched the feelings, scoring as soon as it got possession of the ball. However, late in the game, Washington matched the touch- down and went for two points to narrowly edge the Astros. The defense, with key interceptions by Rodney Patrick and Reginald Castleberry, kept fans hopeful until the final whistle. 172 Student Life Homecoming 1.
