The first day of Homecoming spirit week was sports day and as every year before it invoked a lot of playful banter by people who liked opposing teams. Some common ones were UCLA or USC, Angels or Dodgers, and many others. Everyone looked forward to seeing each other’s costumes but mostly to the rally.
After fifth period everyone made their way to the black top and went to their class sections. The first competition involved this year’s homecoming court. Their objective? The princesses had to eat a donut off of a string held by the princes without using their hands. Each princess represented a different class, but they didn't find out which class they represented until after the competition. The classes cheered and laughed as they watched the girls race to eat their donut. Princess Sarah Ikenberry came in first, winning two spirit points for the freshman class.
Next they had a contest for the princes where they had to eat through a pie and find six jolly ranchers using only their mouths as their hands were held behind their back by the princesses. Prince Jacob Fletcher finished first gaining two spirit points for the sophomores, followed by Prince Michael Panossian winning one spirit point for the seniors. Each prince walked away with whipped cream all over their face.
Finally as the rally drew to a close it was time for the much anticipated class yells. The freshmen did okay for their first time, the sophomores were very loud and enthusiastic and the junior class was better than all previous years but there was no question about it: the seniors dominated. They came in first followed by the sophomores then the juniors and finally the freshmen.
