16 Homecoming — -pft n€- Govs Show Pride This year’s homecoming was filled with the Governor spirit of pride and accomplishment. During the annual Homecoming queen assembly, Mayor Thomas McDermott congratulated Morton’s only National Merit Scholarship Winner, Brian Stage, Senior. Also during the queen assembly the vocal ambassador’s brought pride to our student body, faculty, and guests by performing “The Words Get in The Way”. Pride rang throughout the day and night of homecoming as the students donned a red and grey wardrobe for the pep rally, game and dance. Senior Chris Walsh was chosen the winner of the cutest baby contest which was sponsored by the Cheerleaders. by Tabitha Dixon

Jrs. Spark Spirit Back in the days of yesteryear bonfires were held as spirit raising functions. In addition to this year’s traditional spirit raising functions for Homecoming, the Junior class sponsored a bonfire, which will hopefully become a new Homecoming tradition here at MHS. Homecoming spirit was widespread this year as the students and faculty backed the Govs to a Homecoming victory over the Clark Pioneers. In the traditional news, the Seniors won the spirit stick com¬ petition over the Juniors by a very slim margin. Their float, “Raised on Radio’’, reflected the theme of the same name. by Tabitha Dixon Homecoming 15
