rift 7414! T elieve it or not, some days we would rather be at l school than anywhere else. We were filled with an- ticipation as we woke up without hitting the snooze button knowing that Homecoming or Adopt-A-Child parties were waiting for us at school. As the Homecoming festivities neared rain threatened moving the evening pep rally into the gym without the traditional lighting of the V bonfire. However, the weather cleared up and everything went as scheduled. At the Homecoming parade on Saturday morning, long rows of cars filled with clubs and teams told the story of Homecoming through the years. The night found couples dressed in their finest - brav- ing the weather to support the Vikings' victory over South Crand Prairie Warriors 12-7. Pride became obvious as the Student Council sponsored the Christmas Adopt-A-Child program. Tin cans bearing a child's name were passed around homerooms to collect money. The money collected went to make a special Christmas for an elementary child. All classes generously gave in order to buy that dream toy for their boy or girl. Whether it was a Cabbage Patch doll or a bike, homerooms played Santa Claus to 82 children. School dances livened up the nights with themes of beach parties and street dances. Many clubs and classes used dances as a successful fund raising promotion and as an excuse for fun. It is true that some days were better than others, but when those special days did come, it was a group effort to show as much pride and TLC as we possibly could for our school or others. H omeroom classes played Santa to many elementary students.
