Homecoming Festivities Provide Fun for All
Walking through the halls at Willow Springs High School on Homecoming Friday is like swimming in a sea of maroon and white. Homecoming is a very hectic day to which students look forward. This year’s festivities provided excitement and fun for all. At 2 p.m. on Friday, September 17, the Homecoming parade made its way through town.

FFA, middle school and each high school class had floats representing them in the parade. The different high school classes competed in the traditional float competition, and the freshmen class came out on top.
Following the Homecoming parade was the pep rally. Students filled the gym with spirit and encouragement for the football team. Members from each class competed in games and the always popular spirit war. The seniors reigned champions in the spirit war as they did the majority of the week when it came to spirit points. The middle school was happy to be included in the pep rally as well.
Mr. Steve Dunlap commented, “This was the best pep rally yet!” Everyone was involved and made this Homecoming rally a definite success.
Later on that evening was the moment for which everyone had been waiting: the Homecoming coronation. As the gorgeous girls escorted by the Bears football players made their way onto the field , they were ecstatic to be representing their class. The anticipation rose when all the girls had made their way onto the field and the Homecoming queen was soon to be announced.
“And your 2010 Homecoming queen is… Allisha Shanks!” As Allisha made her way to center field, the excitement was written all over her face. She was crowned and bombarded by camera flashes. The court made their way off the field, and the Homecoming game began.

- What a lovely Homecoming court!
Directly following the football game was the Homecoming dance. Around 150 people attended the dance, automatically making it a success. The dance was black light themed, and students loved it. Based on the turnout, Willow Springs High School will most definitely be having future dances.
While the game did not end the way students had hoped, the festivities surrounding Homecoming 2010 certainly provided many opportunities for fun.
homecoming was a great day but when it came down to the game we didn’t show the spirt we need to kill the tigers!! we will shake it off and kill the bull dogs friday WOO LETS GO BEARS!!

homecoming was amesome but it really hurt when we lost to salem but we rebounded and beat the bulldogs!!!!!
i couldnt make it, but i heard the band did great and the dance was awesome!
My cousin is the homecoming queen! I also went to the dance.
The only problem i have with this article is that it didn’t mention the band! The band did awesome in my humble opiniion!
The band and the game were both great, except the slight fact that some were dancing inappropriately. I know thats the “in” thing right now but still people shouldnt do that if they were raised right. But any ways it was great!
Homecoming was really cool. Everyone looked amazing. It was fun since it had black lights.
homecoming was good at least we all tried our best….
