2005 Miracle Yearbook

a II Parade It was a cool,crisp morning,a little overcast, butthere was definitely spirit in the air. People of all ages lined Main Street to watch the 2004 Alumni Homecoming Parade. Kids cheered as they saw the Cedar- ville mascot,the Yellow Jacket, buzz down the road, waving at them. Adults chatted with each other and watched the parade unfold in front of them. Dr. and Mrs. Brown kicked off the parade with greetings to all of the parade- goers. Floats varying in shapes and sizes followed, as well as very important people. Abigail Winburn, 2004 Homecoming Queen, and her court, seniors Andrea Johnson and Rachel Marley, junior Jacquelyn Greetham, sophomore Katherine Sawdon, and freshman Kimberly Greer,each rode on the back of a convertible, waving to all of the well-wishers. Senior attendant Rachel Marley admitted, "Before the parade started I was so afraid that I would just fall off the convertible once it started moving, but once it began, I was completely absorbed in the fun." In addition to current Cedarville students, three Alumni were honored at this year's parade. Jeff Montie from th class of 1983 was named Alumnus of the Year.
