' .-' I T It X ' r 1 r The Senior Float flashes back to the past in celebration of Poway s 25th Revitalizin A Tradition By Tami Watkins Happy 25th, Poway High! chanted the class of '88 they scurried by the football fans in the bleachers on October 12. Poway Titans were finally home and were wel- comed with open arms by students and the community alike. Since this year represent- ed a new beginning, so did the pageantry of Homecoming. This year for the first time the floats paraded around the field before the commencement of the Varsity game. A Junior, Lance Seymour commented, I didnlt like seeing the Homecoming floats before the game because the whole part of being there was for the halftime festivities, which should've included the floats. When Halftime finally arrived on the cool, autumn night, the overall excitement ofannouncing the Homecoming Queen and King erupted when a skydiver came float- ing down out of the starlit sky. Once landed, the skydiver announced the King and Queen and presented Queen Kristen Ran- gel with a dozen red roses. However, the Homecoming Court wasn't the only event that occurred on that Friday night. Poway lost the game to San Dieguito 16-7, but there were winners that evening, for example, the Seniors won first place float and the Freshmen came in second. Frosh President said, We all were ecstatic and all the hard work paid off. Poway's Silver Anniversary was a true Homecoming for everyone!
