From red, white and black day to the dance, and everything in between, homecoming week of 2007 at LHS was one to remember. This year’s homecoming theme was old Hollywood (1920s-1960s). Red, white and black commenced the week, followed by movie star day. Powder-puff girl’s football and boy’s volleyball took place on Thursday. Friday’s football game ended with a celebrated win. The dance on Saturday wrapped up the week full of fun.
“I thought [the theme] was a rare glimpse into our nation’s past of stars and aliens [or foreigners],” freshman Kelsey Warner said.
Many LHS students participated in homecoming spirit days. Monday’s spirit day was red, white and black day. Wearing red signified having a date, wearing black meant going with a group and wearing white represented looking for a date. Students jazzed their style up with feather boas, Mardi gras beads, and sunglasses for Tuesday’s movie star day. TSA participants handed out pins with familiar old Hollywood faces on Wednesday morning for TSA pin day. Decade’s day on Thursday was not participated in as much as other spirit days that week. But those who did wore styles from the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. Homecoming week’s last spirit day was class t-shirt day. Students decorated their shirts on Tuesday after school at the shirt decorating party.
Thursday’s bonfire was a huge success. Cheerleaders sold glow sticks for $2 each. Free cookies and other desserts were available. Varsity POMS team got the crowd excited, as well as the marching band and color guard. A “Stuff the bug” contest also took place. Seniors won by fitting 20 students into the car, freshman in second place at 18 students. The jumping castle was one of the many enjoyable activities at the bonfire also.
Friday’s football game was a close match. But in the end, the varsity football team managed a win with the final score at 21-20. Students cheered on their team by wearing class t-shirts and some even temporarily dyed their hair purple. The POMS team performed at half time as well as the marching band and color guard. Marching band’s routine of “the process of invention” was spectacular. Homecoming royalty was also announced at half time. Lady and Lord were Jay Barrow and Catie Reagin. Duke and Duchess were Keith Boos and Stephanie Limes. Prince and Princess were Nate Guthals and Sarah Becker. Finally, King and Queen were Robert Wilson and Maggy Failing.
“School spirit was phenomenal [at the game],” senior Mackenzie Merrick said.
Saturday’s Homecoming dance ended the week. Walls were decorated with stars, and celebrity names, film strips and pictures of old Hollywood. Balloons decorated the south gym. The dance lasted from 8:30 PM to 11:30 PM.
“It was amazing,” freshman Kelly Jackson said.
