Editorial: Homecoming is much more than the gome Homecoming is sometimes defined as an annual event held to honor returning alumni, but there are many who feel that Homecoming at JHS is interpreted in an entirely different way. Mrs. Koehler stated. I feel the Homecoming week activities are very positive. However, she added, The true meaning of Homecoming is lost in the process. Mr. Schulz, football coach, replied, Homecoming is very necessary to the total athletic program. The problem is that the true meaning of Homecoming has been lost. Instead of spending the week getting ready to welcome back alumni of Jefferson High School, we spend it seeing how silly we can dress. I feel the student body feels that Homecoming week is for their entertainment and not a preliminary to honor alumni with a football game. “ Others disagree with this idea and feel that Homecoming as it is now celebrated is very necessary. The week is great fun and really helps build the spirit. commented Miss Turner. I also feel that there is no reason why the entire student body cannot participate in the week's activities. Cheerleader Cathy Sinder-mann said, I feel Homecoming week really fires up the student body. The activities during the Homecoming week are what differentiates the Homecoming football games from any other football game during the season. The students who do not participate during the week are losing out. and those who do participate will carry with them memories of it forever.
