The second school rally was well prepared and once again the sensation of excitement was shared by the school as they waited for the cheerleaders to reveal who was chosen to be the lucky 15 in the running to be Homecoming King and Queen. With a few interruptions during the rally such as a few beach balls thrown across the room, overall the rally promoted great spirit.
A skit was played in recognization that 2008 homecoming will be nearing soon. The objective of the rally’s skit allowed Homecoming’s theme to be understood as well as presenting the top 15 to be voted once again for the next top 5 in the following week of Oct.6-Oct.10th.
With the exception of the chanting of “freshmen go home”, the ‘Under the Sea’ topic of homecoming was perceived into a creative satire having many students much more enthusiastic about 2008’s homecoming, regardless the new front to back policy. Despite the newly enforced rules, senior Allison Courtier hopes ”it’s more special than the others because it’s my senior year, but last year’s was a lot of fun so hopefully it’s even better.”
Top 15 Rally was particularly memorable for the nominees. The students squealed and were in awe when they saw their names on the neatly crafted huge papers decorated in yellow and blue balloons. Some were completely in shock as others were predicted they may be chosen. “I thought about it especially after the prom nomination last year” Brittany Walter says,” but it’s so much harder when the kids elect.” For others such as Daniel Wong the nomination was shocking. Wow, it was really surprising!” Daniel Wong(12) reminisced,” It’s an honor to be up there in front of the school and also repping the WHS band, because a lot of hard work they do often goes unrecognized”.
Students find this experience rather amazing but student Erika Roos (12) appreciates it much more because of the fact she is experiencing with her friend. This nominee agreed that this was something to be proud of. “It’s an honor to be in this group because all of the other nominees are supermen and superwomen and the sunglasses and inner tube are pretty darn cool!” Each person who stood in front of the student body had an indescribable expression. All in all, it can be said that the Top 15 Rally was enjoyable for the nominated students. Sadly, the many disruptions resulted in newly enforced rules output from West High’s administration. This includes no underclassmen such as freshman, sophomore, and junior to be involved with rallies anymore. Hopefully we will learn to respect and learn the real definition of a school pep rally and

Damn I wish we had a school news paper. I would so be editor.
I’m in Australia, you see. We don’t have school papers … or Homecoming or cheerleaders.

An amusing skit denoted the impending 2008 Homecoming and elucidated Homecoming’s theme to all. During the skit, the top 15 were presented and opened voting for the next top 5, who will be revealed in the following week of Oct. 6 – Oct. 10th.
