A traditional event at Southern Boone that all students look forward to each year is Homecoming. Because it is the first big event to occur during the school year, everyone gives it their all to make it special. This year’s Homecoming was on December 11. The theme, picked by the Student Council was an original one, “History Quotes.” All floats dealt with various quotes and events happening in history. Homecom- ing spirit actually started way before the day of it. The week before each class worked on their float every night at someone’s house, and all were completed by Friday. Also the week before everyone dressed up each day for Spirit Week. The day of Homecoming the King and Queen were voted on and each class, faculty members, cheerleaders and other clubs presented a skit in the assembly for the high school. Following was the parade of attendants, floats, bands, and other entries circled through Ashland to show their enthusiasm. The rest of the events occurred later that night with the Varsity boys and girls teams taking on the New Bloomfield Wildcats. The King and Queen were then crowned between games, and the float and locker decorating contest winners were announced. After the games, everyone headed over to the middle school gym for the dance to wrap up a busy week and evening. The pictures of these two pages give a better view of the events that took place during Homecoming. 24
