EST OF TIMES Ready , O.K.?! ! The students were more than ready for the amiual Homecoming game at their pep assem- bly the day ofthe game. The assembly started with a jump when the senior class filed into the assembly doing the bunny hop. At the assem- bly the students were involved in various ac- tivities. Events such as a pie eating contest, skateboard race, and a softball activity were held to promote class spirit. The winner of these activities was the junior class. Jr. Bill Evert said, The pie eating contest was the funniest because it was fun to watch our friends make fools of themselves. The cheer- leaders and pom pons did a routine together to get the crowd psyched for the game. One ofthe poms, Sr. Sarah Bate, said, It's satisfying to perform in front of a crowd that has so much spirit because you feel like they are appreciat- ing what you do. Following the pep assembly was a parade that was described by Mr. Ben Bowen as being the longest parade in the history of the school. The co-chairmen ofthe parade were Srs.Negar Ayromloo-Zadeh and Kristin Gebhart, Kristin said, The quality of the floats this year was really exciting. The classes put a lot of time and effort into it. The floats ranged from the elaborate senior float, with a replica of a news- paper that spun around on it, to the Octagon float, which was a single car decorated in streamers and balloons. At halftime of the game, the freshman float was announced the winner of the float building contest . Fr. Josh Lancaster said, Although we worked all weekend at Katie Ga1loway's house, it didn't seem like work really because it was just fun. Sr. Pat O'Keefe said, I think the parade was an exhilarating experience for everyone. A great deal of preparations had been made for the parade, from the people who organized it to those who participated in it. One of the members of the band, Sr. Brad Evilsizer said, We put in a lot of hours in to be the 'baddest. ' Negar said, I thought the parade was a success because of all the hard work everyone, not just the committee members, put into it. Activities sr Kelly G-risaeunr xtra! Extra! Read all about it!
