Traveling down Adelphi Rd. in the University of Maryland trolley car was a first for the Home- coming Court this year. The court consisted of: Steve Baker, Sonya Taylor, 9th grade, Andre Cameron, Sherry Allen, 10th grade, ,lose Burgos, Taleesa Gabriel, 11th grade. The Lollipop routine was used for the Homecoming parade. Looking at the Northwestern poms you can tell they got down and had Fun. Where's The Parade? Were you home sleeping late on Saturday, October 10, when all of a sudden your radio clicked on and the famil- iar voice of Don and Mike known as the Morning Zoo blasted, Don't Forget to attend Northwestern High School's Homecoming Parade and Carnival starting at 10 pm. today, As you rolled over you mumbled to yourself, I must be hearing things. Well the truth was you weren't the Student Government Association worked on getting the word out about the parade and sent announcements to all radio stations and newspapers. The '87-'88 parade took a new route and began at PC. Plaza. The parade traveled up Toledo Road, to Adelphi and ended at the auditorium parking lot. The parade route changed this year according to SCA president, Sophia Edmundson because, We wanted to extend our limita- tion, get everyone welcomed who lived so far out, let the wildcat spirit Flow in the air. Other ways the SCA ex- tended their welcome to the community was to invite local representatives such as the Brentwood Eagle-Ettes, a ma- jorette group, the Mayor of Hyattsville, Tom Bass, and the College Park Fire Department to participate in the parade.

Getting Psyched Pep-Rally Has your day just been one class after another?l If so, we have the answer. Lets go to a Pep-rally! Get up, get dressed, and get your act together! Be- cause every year we show our spirit for our football team by holding strange and unusual events and we need you there! We first start out with a cheer to see who can cheer the loudest. Then all the players, coaches, and managers are introduced one by one. The cheerlead- ers are also on hand to assist each class with 15 seconds of continuous screaming, showing which class has the most spirit. After that one football player from each grade gets a female partner and participates in a relay event exchanging clothes. Then to get everyone really fired up up, the band plays the fight song. This gets everyone on their feet. And to top it off we get to see the Pom- Pons perform with grace and preci- sion. So be sure you're at school for the next PEP-RALLY!! 12 PEP RALLY Is this an alien? No, it's Mark Sager showing that he has more than class spiritp he's a true wildcat fan. Firing up the Freshman class, the cheerleaders lead them with the Cheer called Give me a W for the Wildcats.
