Homecoming 2009 brought a lot of excitement and surprises. There was everything from Crazy Hair day to Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum day; there were boys playing volleyball and girls playing football. Rain during the parade and rain during the Friday night football game, but that didn’t stop the freshmen from having the best float at the parade or the Fishermen beating Scappoose Friday night! There was a gasp of surprise when the student body heard that the freshmen had won homecoming week, and maybe a few surprises when people found out who was on homecoming court. The dance, however, came with no surprise on Saturday night, with an Alice and Wonderland theme.
Starting off homecoming week was Crazy Hair day, with a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes; everything from purple hair, cone heads and colorful wigs. Tuesday was Tourist Day, the clicking of cameras was all over the school, people walking slow in the halls as tourist do, and it almost looked as if the student body had been painted with a Hawaiian print. With Wednesday, came Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum day, as junior Trygve Olsen explained, “it was my favorite day because it was fun to see all the people dressed up." Every time you thought you saw someone, two minutes later here they came again, or so you thought. On Thursday there was Class Colors. Junior Brandin Smith said it was his favorite because everyone wasn’t dressed the same. You could look down the hall and know just what grade their in just by what they’re wearing. Friday was Spirit Day the day that everyone gets to represent their school, the day where everyone is jumping up and down in their purple and gold and just anticipating the big game, where you can’t even think straight because all you want to do is REPRESENT.
