Beach Day was next on Tues- day and the seniors and the juniors both had 100 percent participation that day. Hayley Johnson and Pat Anderson won the individual prizes. On Wednesday, the entire school wore crazy hats, ties, and socks. Cassia Trautman and Paul Elsner were that day’s individual winners. Pairs Day resulted in some very creative outfi ts on Thursday.

Homedale lost to rival Weiser 28-21 in the fi nal seconds of the game on a fake punt that went wrong. Homedale was tied up in the last few minutes of the game at DeWard Bell Stadium Friday night and Thomas said he told the spe- cial teams coach to tell the lineman to block the kick and get the ball back because of losing time. But Thomas said his coach had no posi- tion to make the call when he called for a fake punt attempt. The Trojans led 21-14 with 2:41 left in the game after a one-yard touchdown plunge by Gilbert Obregon. Williams took the snap to punt, but pulled up and found Marcus Eby running out. Wolverine Tommy Turner made a dive at the pass, breaking it up and left Weiser with 1:03 to play and the ball on the Homedale 31 yard line. “The kids played real hard against a good team,” Thomas said. “They are really good. It was not fair to the kids; it was not fair to anyone. In overtime we are more dynamic. It was a hard lessen to learn and I am still very frustrated.” Weiser made the most of the break, recovering its own fumble on the opening play of the drive and then going back on a 29-yard play action pass to set up a fi rst and goal from the two. “The kids have worked hard for a playoff game and I am just sick that it won’t be this year,” Thomas explained. “For both former 2A Wet football action teams to go to the playoffs would have been very nice.” The Homedale / Weiser football game was a cold, rain soaked event all four quarters.

Celebrating 100Yearsof the Campbell Kids

ince their first appearance in 1904, the Campbell Kids have become synonymous with Campbell Soup Company and have found their way into the hearts and homes of millions of Americans. Here are some facts on the fresh-faced, ageless wonders,S who are celebrating their 100th birthday:

A great start. Philadelphia artist Grace Drayton gave “birth” to the Kids, who first appeared on streetcar card advertising in over 300 cities. They were an immediate hit and were subsequently used in all of the com- pany’s advertising.

What’s missing? The Kids have never been given first names. They also do not have any visible ears or necks.

All-American kids. In 1918 the Kids donned World War I uniforms and Red Cross outfits in advertisements to support the war effort, and in World War II advertising they asked consumers to buy war bonds. In 1984, Campbell’s Soup became a sponsor of the U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Team, and images of the Kids playing numerous sports appeared on Campbell soup cans and in numerous ads.

Campbell’s collectibles. Items and artifacts featuring the Campbell Kids have become coveted licensed collectibles. Campbell has offered dozens of dolls and novelties with their likenesses, including salt and pepper shakers, postcards, bobble head dolls, toy trucks, kitchen clocks and a host of figurines.

100 years young. Today a Campbell Kid is the official face of the Campbell’s Labels for Education program, and his image adorns more than 1.5 billion cans of soup each year.

abulous desserts can be easy to prepare if you have the right ingredients on hand. Start with a ready-made graham cracker crumb crust. Then stir up a filling with sweetened, condensed milk for a smooth, luscious texture. Add a variety of fresh or canned fruits — or maybe peanut butter and chocolate — for both color and flavor. Fast and fabulous recipes like these assemble in minutes. Then bake. Or chill. Or freeze. Crown your dessert with a cloud of whipped topping, fresh fruit or shaved chocolate. Then sit back and enjoy the compliments.
