COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL October 7, 2015 Cottage Grove Retrospective A look back at Sentinel stories from 40 and 70 years ago Oct. 2, 1975 Homecoming Discussed U.S.S. Massachusetts returns from the wars — Oct. 4, 1945 School offi cials rediscuss bringing back homecoming Cottage Grove High School’s 1975 homecoming celebration will probably take on a new look this year as students and school offi cials attempt to re- new an event that had to be can- celed last year when it got out of control. According to Jerry Braun- berger, activities director, a de- cision on the form of this year’s homecoming should be made sometime this week. The homecoming game this year is set for Oct. 17 with North Bend at Currin Field. This fall, a student activities committee, the student council and staff have been meeting and discussing what to do with the annual weeklong event. Tradi- tionally, homecoming has in- volved a fund-raising week and a spirit week leading up to the homecoming game on Friday Night. Homecoming, in the past, has involved class competition in the fund-raising and spirit activ- ities with points being awarded toward the selection of home- coming queen, the title going to the class with the most points. Last year’s homecoming was canceled by Principal Darrell Langevin after an egg-throwing incident that capped off a week of incidents, which school offi - cials believe were related to the POLICE BLOTTER Oct. 1 Suspicious Subject, CG Li- brary A report advised of a male subject sitting in front of the Cottage Grove Library lighting fi res in his hands.
