Hard work pays off during Centennial
The Eagle staff wishes to extend their most sincere thanks to everyone who planned, helped, and participated in the centennial homecoming events.
It is without a doubt that the homecoming celebrations and festivities were a great success, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work from the faculty, staff, and students.
For the parade, it was humbling to see so many individual students give up their precious time to come together and construct such amazing floats. Whether a float was grand in size or unique in design, each one represented the ambitions of the students involved with their construction and proved to be a real joy for the people of this town as well.
Despite the less than desired final scores, we also thank the CSC athletes who gave it all they had for the team and school, and they will surely bounce back and make all of us proud.
All of the clubs and campus groups made splendid efforts in their endeavors. Particularly impressive were the number of bedsheet submissions and varied designs they had. Whether it was a theme of our eagle trouncing another college animal or evoking the values of the particular club, all of them were neat and original because of the time the students took to paint them.
Events like the fireworks display were also impressive, thanks to the student government organizations for funding it and the administration and individual faculty for encouraging it in the first place.
Last, the various games and stands on the Dean’s Green, formed by the various campus clubs and groups, gave many people a chance to see what the college has to offer the student body. Again, all of this was thanks to those individuals who wanted to make an impact on the centennial celebrations.
We’re glad to have been here to enjoy the 100th anniversary of this great institution, and we hope everyone who participated, in one way or another, were able to have a good time.
Again, a great big thanks to everyone who made the 2011 homecoming a great success.
