2006 Miracle Yearbook

As I walked through the balloon archway, I knew that my first homecoming at Cedarville was going to be an interesting one. As the popular carnival ride Mind Winder spun away, the scent of elephant ears filled the air. There was a stage where multiple acts including singing, tricks, and contests took place. Isaac Pittman sang "What a Wonderful World," and he said he thought the crowd was great. "They were excited and energetic throughout the whole day. They seemed to like all the performers, and since my song was a familiar one, they were able to be involved." Many people participated in this year's homecoming theme by wearing 50's styled clothing. "I love dressing up, and it makes it more fun," said Teah Thomson, who was adorned in a pink poodle skirt. "The 50's really do seem cool. Who doesn't love bobby socks and poodle skirts?" exclaimed Elizabeth Orrison, an emcee on the stage. Though it was cold outside, there were many games to play, prizes to win, and food to eat. When asked what she was going to do with the goldfish she'd just won, Jenny Johnson said, "I'm going to put it in my room. They told me it was from China!" After the carnival activities many students gathered outside of the DMC in anticipation for the Steven il l Curtis Chapman concert. By far the most memorable moment of the concert was Chapman singing the infamous song "Dive." Students jumped up and down with excitement as Chapman sang the chorus. However, as he got to the second verse, he exclaimed, "I've sung this song a hundred and fifty-three million times... and I just forgot the words. It's a really good verse too!" Chapman definitely made Homecoming 2005 memorable. A. Freshman Marie Kirby endures the cold weather to paint students' A.
