Jungle Boogie
After the homecoming game was almost rained out the central football players came back tp the field a little wet and ambitious, and they triumped. Central won the first game of the season against the Grand Island Gators. After Central‘s first victory everyone was ready to celebrate at the homecoming dance
. Homecoming took place earlier this year on September 12th, compared to the past years October dates. Although the search for the perfect dress and shoes was a little more rushed then up, Central students showed up and were looking swell.
The Pom Squad and Mrs. Luethge came up with the theme and were in charge of decorations.

“Mrs. Luegthe came up with the theme Jungle Boogie and it sort of turned into a tropical rainforest theme”, says Pom Squad member Catherine Carter (12).

The pom squad arrived the morning of the dance at 7 in the morning to decorate the Gymnasium and the Cafeteria.

“We spilt up into groups of 4 and 5 and everyone had their own tasks to accomplish,” says Carter, “I was in charge of putting the backdrop on the bleachers.”

The homecoming king and queen were Ayomide Adekunle and Alexis Page.

“I really didn’t expect to become homecoming king,” says Adekunle, “When they put the crown on my head all I could do was smile, I was so happy.”

The D.J. played favorites such as “Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas, oldies such as “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls, and “Thriller” by Michael Jackson.

The music stopped at 10:30, and after a night of dancing, laughing, and singing everyone could agree that Homecoming was an unforgettable night.
