About 10 Key Club members and 10 senior senators as well as some non-senior members of the Senate put in non-school hours on the floats. The band, drill team and football team put in their share of overtime too. Afternoon and early morning practices helped them prepare for their roles at the game.

Performing and talking to all my friends was great.” -Cheri Liles The BA game, which served as homecoming for both teams, was dominated by Skyline. Skyline's notable performance and a few key errors by the Cougars let the Raiders take home a 27 to 6 homecoming victory.

I'm really gonna miss all the Friday nights at games. Per- forming and talkng to all my friends was great. Others in the stands took as much time to socialize and visit as they did to watch the game. The actions on the field were not totally neglected. As the last game of the season ended spirit was high and energy and encouragement radiated from the stands. I was so glad that we won the game. said Kellie Zahn. Winning the homecoming game made me forget about all the other losses. When the game ended and Skyline walked away with its victory, another season had come to an end. So many goals met and so many left. Oh well, mabye next year. •Teresa A mya 20 Student Life
