Homecoming Pepfest a hit !


The Homecoming Pepfest was held on Thurs., Sept. 29th during 6th period. Students were called down by oors and then poured into the gym representing Central pride with red and black and various school jerseys and class shirts. Central’s Pep Band added to the energy in the air with the school song, and plenty more. Although it may have been freshmen’s €rst pepfest, the upperclassmen quickly got the freshmen acquainted to Central’s customs with the proudly sung school song, and Central songs led by the cheerleaders. Senior Lalu Abebe’s spunk and energy, along with Nehemia Jett’s humor made the perfect pair as the MCs for Central’s Homecoming Pepfest.
Homcoming royalty participated in a relay which required them to turn around in circles €ve times, do the three-legged race across the gym; once they reached the other end, whoever shot a basket €rst would be able to run back and win. This years’ Homcoming Pepfest winners were Sophmores, Anthony Frelix and Mercedes Yarbrough.
The Central Violators, made up of students in all 4 grades, took the oor grabbing everyones attention with their performance, and received a standing ovation.
"The Central Violators are great dancers, and they’re very enter-taining to watch,” said junior, Diana Thao.
All fall varsity sports teams were recognized, and each had their own way of representing themselves on the oor. The boys football team introduced by Coach Scott Howell ran in with a sign painted South St. Paul, and tore it up.
“ This year’s Homecoming pepfest was de€natly the best one out of all 3 years,” said senior, Mao Vang. “The energy was high, there was enough time for everyone to be recognized, and Lalu and Nehemiah were great.”
On Friday, September 30th at 7pm, students gathered at Central for the closing of Homecoming week with the celebration of the sold out Homecoming Dance. The dance lasted from 7PM-11PM. The dance featured DJ Mackbee and a VIP room. DJ Mackbee played various songs, getting the dancers amped up. The VIP room was a new addition to the Homecoming Dance this year. The VIP room was put together by the Young Republicans to show appreciation to the participants of their Match Making Game. The VIP room consist of decorations, ice-cream, and punch.
Initially walking into the dance, few people were dancing. But by the time the dance was through, everyone was leaving in clumps of excited friends. Apparently, the Homecoming Dance for 2005 was a success for everyone.
