On Wednesday, MHS brought back a homecoming tradition that has been absent from our homecoming week for a few years; the Powder-Puff game. This is a game that is against junior and seniors, where girls play the football and the guys cheerlead.

This is a game that Student Council puts on. This year the students took it to MHS Principal Valerie Orr to get this tradition back on track.

“We had a Powder Puff game at Wayne, too, so it made me laugh that this was one of the first things that came across my desk,” said Orr. “I told you guys what I told them; I don’t have a reason not to continue with this tradition, unless you guys give me a reason.”

Now with this in mind, there were incidents at the game that were questionable whether they were “appropriate” or not. Usually the music, the dances and everything the students do are required to be viewed before performance so that there are no issues that arise. Unfortunately in this case, that did not happen. Students dressed in what some call “Booty Shorts” and danced to songs and in a style that are making a stir among administration.     “The cheerleaders did a great job; they made one mistake, and that was the twerking,” said Orr. “Twerking does not belong in the public. When people see our student’s twerking, that’s not going to help our reputation on the way they see us.”

Rumors around the school spread quickly, saying that our principal said the cheerleaders who were twerking and dressed inappropriately were set to get suspended. Though, like most rumors, that was not true.

“I never said that they were going to get suspended,” said Orr. “Am I disappointed? Yes, but no one is going to get in trouble, but its lessons learned and now we know that all performances need to be viewed before they are performed.”

According to some students, what the older generation may see as disrespectful, and not something to do in public, the younger generation just sees as merely a joke

“I think it went really well, everyone did a good job. The cheerleaders were hilarious, and the football players were good sports,” said senior Tyra Ciacelli, who was a fan in the stands.

Senior Logan Harris, who is a football player for MHS, stepped on the sidelines and had the opportunity to see what it was like to be a cheerleader for a night.

“I felt that it went amazing. I think the cheerleaders made it amazing; they were sexy, and they made a fashion statement,” said Harris.
