Madison High School - Yearbook (Rexburg, ID)

HOMECOMING . . . Tuesday started the activities as everyone came dressed in those good old patriotic colors— Red and White. Some people may have thought we were a kindergarten instead of a high school when noontime came and there were boys riding around on tricycles. Kay Garner took first place, winning the trike race for the mighty Seniors. The Seniors also won the sucker-licking contest with Dennis Grover as the fastest lick in the West, but the Juniors won the next race by a nose (Kyle Stucki ' s nose) in the penny push. Out in the lobby, a dead Trojan lay in state all week and the student body was told to pay proper res- pect to him. Wednesday brought in Stomp ' Em Day and some of the craziest shoes imaginable. The Madison Bobcats stomped those Trojans into the ground in everything from bedroom slippers to army boots. Everyone then congregated in the auditorium to watch the exciting, made-up-at-the-last-minute skits. The judges decided the Seniors earned first place, the Juniors came in second and the Sophomores third. It turned out to be a half hour of laughs and fun for all. A Spirit Well was started to see which class would donate the most money toward a stuffed Bobcat to put in the main lobby. The Sophomores showed their spirit well by far surpassing the other classes. 18 HOMECOMING

Sophomores, Spirit Stick 1 Thursday was a definite change from Wednesday, for instead of Stomp ' em shoes, there were no shoes at all as the Bobcats wore their wildest socks on Sock It To ' Em Day. Right after school the major job of hauling and dump- ing wood began and nightfall saw the largest woodpiles Madison has ever seen. The fires were lit and the flames jumped to the sky in three blazes so hot and high a person had to be there to believe it. After the fires, a pep rally was held and the winners of the various activities were announced. The spirit stick was awarded to the Sophomores for having the most unified spirit. Friday was Hats Off to the Bobcats Day and the most action- packed of any of that fun filled week. The parade turned out to be the best ever, and the weather seemed to know that it wasn ' t time to rain any more so the sun came up on Madison that afternoon. It seemed to continue smiling on the Bobcats even when it sank behind the horizon for their homecoming spirit and luck brought the Red and the White through on top— 26 to 6— in an excitement-packed game. Even though we had felt the de- stroying impact of disunity and extreme rivalry during some of the events in the week, it seemed to pull the student body together more strongly. By the time the starlit night of the dance rolled around, the spirit seemed to be high and all was forgiven as smiles spread everywhere, Madison Bob- cats won ' t let the Sun Go Down on them!
