Discussed

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

a homecoming that is success-
ful.”
Mr. Braunberger said students
appear to want to keep the class
competition element of home-
coming.

everyone knows to stand be-
yond 25 feet. Signs are avail-
able for free at City Hall, and
those interested can contact the
City Manager’s offi ce for signs
or more information. The City
has partnered with Lane County
