Rain doesn't dampen homecoming spirits The day started out with rain, but as one entered the school, it didn't seem to matter. The hall decorations were more festive than ever before. Mini-floats lined the front hall. Anticipation of the game was heightened by first period spirit yells. Exes filed in and out all day, mingling with teachers and students. As pep rally time approached, the front halls were filled with familiar faces. Attendance at the rally was the best all year - and so was the spirit. Everyone was relieved to see that the rain had let up by time for pregame. The band marched with pride to the tune of Legend of the One-Eyed Sailor. Afterwards the Mam'selles performed the traditional can-can routine. By game time, there was standing room only at Williams Stadium where the Raiders made a strong defensive showing against the Mesquite Skeeters, although losing 7-0.
