The day started with a walk in honor of the pre- mature babies of the March of Dimes. Followed by competitions between classes with volleyball for boys and powder puff foot- ball for the girls. Ending the day, later that night was a * pep rally and bonfire show- ing our school spirit. We can't forget the day of all days Homecoming day itself. It all started that morning when sponsors, teams, and classes were do- ing the finishing touches on their floats and hot rides to participate in the parade held that day. Although the girls showed their competi- tiveness and Trojan pride, they traded it all in to get dolled up and look elegant for the Homecoming court. As the parade began you heard sirens, music, and the sounds of hundreds of people as they enjoyed, the parade. The kids and par- ents were cheering and having so much fun they were racing to the candy being thrown out. Al- though the parade ended, the varsity football team had a lot more waiting for us later that night Everyone knows all Homecoming games al- ways start with the pre- Sgame presentation of the Homecoming Court. After the Court was announced we all pledged our flag and waited on the loud noise of the officials whistle. Then there was a big BOOoomm- mm and everyone knew it was kickoff and the game begun. It was the Trojans vs. Eagles! AlthoulLh our opponents scored the Tro- jans fought back and con- ;trolled the lead at half time. At half time, the M \C in- troduced the Homecoming Queen candidates and the .Homecoming Queen. Katie Allen. Big .congratulations to her! The Trojans then came back controlling the game of 12-10, along with a successful week of home- coming. Hope .to see you next year same time, same place for the .2007 Homecoming week. Go, Trojans!!
