Juniors, The next week was Homecoming week. Students watched the movie, marched in the parade, and enjoyed the senior-sponsored Homecoming Dance, Over the Rainbow”. As juniors and seniors struggled through SAT’s and Achievements, it was nice to find relief as the cheerleaders held pep rallies for the seniors face SAI’s football, cross country, and girls’ basketball teams. There was also an awards assembly which honored these sports members and other academically inclined students. Fall was a time of entertainment. An FCA-sponsored singer Don Wharton came to perform for the student body. The choir and others performed for the public in a variety show at LHS. As students looked back over fall, they were sad to see it leave; but to know that coming up was a winter expected to be even greater, made everyone feel better.
