Entering the 2017/2018 school year, many frustrated Eisenhower High School students made the decision to take charge in their clubs and sports in an effort to boost school spirit in the student body. Some of the main groups involved include the Varsity Cheerleading Squad, Student Council, and Journalism. The students in these groups have been working together to reach out to the student body and get them excited to be a part of EMHS.
What were you doing in 1909? You probably weren’t born yet, but for some people it was the start of a tradition that would soon spread throughout the world. This tradition is known as Homecoming. Homecoming was started at a small college in Waco Texas, known as Baylor University. On stltoday.com, Chester Brewer stated they started the tradition as a way to, “urge alumni to come home for a football game against Kansas City.” Their Homecoming event included a football game, a gathering of alumni, a pep-rally, and a parade.
The Knights took on undefeated Seneca Bobcats, the region favorites, for the Homecoming game this year. To start, things were back and forth for the Knights and Bobcats, with Seneca scoring in the first quarter, but failing with the extra point. The Knights came back with a big drive, led by Jaydon Hayes, before the quarter ended.
