To thank the staff, every year during Football season, a dinner is held on the football field during a game for the teachers and their families. Pep Commission - All year The students of the Pep Commission (open to all students) meet each Monday after school to make informational signs and other spirit decorations for the vari- ous sporting events on campus. - 1 - Homecoming Week Blue Pride Day - October This is the kick-off day for Homecoming week. On this day we decorate our en- tire school according to our Homecom- ing theme. There is Blue Pride almost ev- erywhere. Teacher and staff doors and the main gates to enter the school are decorated. In addition, at lunch there is a runway and each grade level president and the class advisor compete for which class has the most Blue Pride! Homecoming Games Games are played during lunch on the first day of homecoming week. The points received are added up with the points from previous class competitions.

This event is an opportunity for students to represent their class and school spirit. Parents, alumni and community members also attend. - 2 - Homecoming Assembly and Halftime Show The Homecoming Assembly is held on the last day of Homecoming Week during lunch in the main gym. We begin with the introduction of the homecoming candidates and among the candidates, the freshman, sophomore, junior princesses are announced, as well as the three senior princesses. The Homecoming Queen’s identity is left a mystery until the Homecom- ing Game that same night. During the halftime show of the Homecoming Game all the prin- cesses are recognized, and Homecoming Queen is announced and crowned by the previous year’s Homecoming Queen. Homecoming Dance The Homecoming Dance traditionally follows the Homecoming football game on Friday night from 9pm-midnight. Many attend the dance and semi-formal attire is usually worn but some students also go casual. The dance is open to all ERHS students and their guests, and while some go with dates, many attend with friends. The dance is a fun way to end a long week of activities. Senior Night Football Game - November Senior Night takes place during the last home football game of the sea- son. All parents of senior football play- ers, pepsters, colorguard and band members are recognized at half time. - 3 - Talent Show - November This event brings the school together to enjoy the performances of our very talented stu- dents. The talent show contains three main categories: dance, singing, and bands. It is open to anyone who would like to participate and there are three winners in each category who receive a prize. This event usually takes place in the main gym on a Thursday evening. Canned Food Drive - November This is an important time of year. ASB collects cans for 2 weeks to help out the less fortu- nate in the community. To encourage others to bring cans there is a class competition, and the winners receive a pizza party. The canned goods are donated to the Pico Rivera Christ- mas Basket Committee, which is overseen by the city of Pico Rivera. Powder Puff Pep Rally & Game - December The Powder Puff Pep Rally and game usually fall on the Thursday before winter break. It involves humor- ous performances by male senior and junior cheer- leaders and class cheers accompanied by the Powder Puff football players. Although this sounds like your regular pep rally and football game, it isn’t. The purpose of Powder puff is for the boys and the girls to step in each other’s shoes for a day. At halftime of the game a cheerleader is crowned, King of Powder Puff, as voted for by students. El Rancho Pride Day - January ER Pride Day every January on the El Rancho campus.

Every year there is a new theme that the students can dress up to. - 6 - Multicultural Carnival - April The Multicultural Carnival is an event at lunch were a variety of our school clubs and sports teams have the opportunity to sell various types of foods as a fundraiser for that club or sport, which gives the different organizations the opportunity to fundraise for field trips or school gear and equipment King of the Ranch - May This is a competition among senior boys to see which truly bleeds blue!

It has been accepted for inclusion in WKU History by an authorized administrator of TopSCHOLAR®. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Speak Up: It’s Leap Year! One of the most significant occurrences of the bissextile day, better known as February 29, was in the year 2000. Our computers had successfully made the transition from 1999, but experts still feared the effect of this extra day on the world’s digital infrastructure. Tradition, however, tells us that leap year has created even greater fears in the unmarried male. As Western’s earliest student magazine, The Elevator, reminded readers in 1916, February 29 marked a year in which “hopeful ladies are supposed to take bold steps,” defy the rules of courtship, and propose marriage to the object of their affection. Some say that this custom originated in fifth-century Ireland, where St. Patrick allowed women to take the initiative every four years after St. Brigid complained to him that they were having to wait too long for husbands. Others credit a Scottish law enacted in 1288 under the unmarried Queen Margaret, which allowed a maiden “liberty to bespeak ye man she likes” during leap year.

  • MASH Themed Party Ideas
    Sadie Hawkins Dance The Sadie Hawkins dance is named after the Li'l Abner comic strip character Sadie Hawkins, created by cartoonist Al Capp. In the strip, Sadie Hawkins Day fell on a given day in November (Capp never specified an exact date). The unmarried women of Dogpatch got to chase the bachelors and "marry up" with the ones they caught. The event was introduced in a daily strip, which ran on November 15, 1937. Traditionally, Sadie Hawkins Day is celebrated on the Saturday that follows November 9. In the Li'l Abner strip, Sadie was the homely daughter of Hekzebiah Hawkins, who called together all the unmarried men of Dogpatch and declared it Sadie Hawkins Day, proclaiming: "When ah fires [my gun], all o' yo' kin start a-runnin! When ah fires agin—after givin' yo' a fair start—Sadie starts a runnin'. Th' one she ketches'll be her husbin." Soon all the town spinsters decided that this was such a good idea, they made Sadie Hawkins Day a mandatory yearly event. In the U.S. and Canada, this concept was popularized by establishing dance events to which the woman invited a man of her choosing, instead of demurely waiting for a man to ask her. The first known such event was held on November 9, 1938. Within a year, hundreds of similar events followed suit. By 1952, the event was reportedly celebrated at 40,000 known venues. It became a woman- empowering rite at high schools and college campuses, and the tradition continues in some regional American cultures.

  • Sadie Hawkins Origin
    Sadie Hawkins Origin Sadie Hawkins’ renown, which evolved into an American folk-holiday in some places, doesn’t really originate from a dance, but rather from a race, as we shall soon see. Sadie was the product of the fertile imagination of cartoonist Al Capp. She was a character in his popular cartoon Lil’ Abner, set in the hillbilly town of Dogpatch, that began its wildly successful 40 year run in 1934. The way Al tells it, Sadie was the daughter of Hekzebiah Hawkins, one of the town’s first settlers, who had the dubious distinction of being the “homeliest gal in all them hills.” After waiting not-so-patiently for 15 years for a suitor to show up at her door, not a single prospective husband arrived to court her. With each passing year, Sadie became more and more panicky, as did her father, who did not relish the idea of supporting a spinster daughter for the rest of her days. So, figuring he had nothing to lose, he called all the unmarried men of Dogpatch together and declared it Sadie Hawkins Day. In a reversal of Atalanta’s race in ancient Greek mythology, the race placed Sadie in hot pursuit of the town’s bachelors; the “lucky” chap she managed to catch became her lawful wedded husband. Or, as her Paw explained it, “When ah fires [my gun], all o’ yo’ kin start a-runnin! When ah fires agin—after givin’ yo’ a fair start—Sadie starts a runnin’. Th’ one she ketches’ll be her husbin.” Pure poetry.
