MOMSeOMW The Homecoming was a spectacular event this year. The five days prior to Homecoming, Spirit Week, turned out to be better than any previous year. There were many activities which went on and lasted throughout the whole week. On Monday the dress up was “Mix-Match”. They also had the traditional freshman clean-up which started at 9:20.

Tuesday was “Farmer day” which was followed by “Nifty Fifties Day” on Wednesday. Wednesday was the big day for all junior and senior girls. Practicing and preparing all week for the Powder Puff game brought the junior and senior girls onto Beck Field at 8:00 p.m. for a game that resulted in a 12-12 tie in the fourth quarter, and led them into a “sudden death”overtime. Both teams played tough and the juniors managed to break through and make a touchdown which made the final score 18-12. The Powder Puff game had four princefs which were: Fr. Shane Satterfield, Soph. Rick Townsen, Jr., Craig Marsh, and Sr. Roger Franko. The king was unanimous, of course, Roger Franko. On Thursday all students dressed up for “Little Kiddies Day”.
