If you plan to attend the homecoming party, please RSVP so we can get a better idea of
how many people to expect. It appears that a lot of alumni plan to attend but have not
RSVPed. This is making it difficult for the reunion committee to make plans. You can rsvp
directly to me by replying to this message. Thanks!
The El Camino cafeteria will be a very good location for the homecoming party as you can
easily walk back and forth
between the homecoming party and the homecoming game in the stadium. In addition, the
cafeteria can accomodate up to 700
people (standing) so we should have plenty of room for alumni, staff and their families.
The homecoming party will cost around $1000 for insurance, custodians and security. Any
contributions towards the costs
would be much appreciated. Many thanks to those of you who have contributed towards the
homecoming party expenses!
Rally: Alumni are invited to attend the student homecoming rally from
11:00-11:30am in the newly modernized Encina gym. Alumni will have their own section of
the bleachers and are invited to judge the classes. Please RSVP so we can provide Encina
will a list of attendees. You must check in at the front office and obtain a guest pass to
attend the rally.
Nametags: There will be STAFF, COMMITTEE, ALUMNI, GUEST and PHOTO badges
for those who RSVP. If you have a question, ask someone on the reunion committee with a
COMMITTEE nametag.
Photos: We have several official photographers. If you want your picture
taken (individual or group), ask someone with a PHOTO nametag. This is a good way to
ensure your presence is recorded for posterity and appears on the website.
Students at the homecoming game will be offering to record our memories with a polaroid
for a $2 donation. This is a great way to take home a picture of reunited friends
and help the student body at the same time.
Classes: We will have class year posters in 5 year increments (1961-65
... 1995-2000) around the perimeter of the cafeteria.
There will be space to print your name and class year on the poster so folks can see who
is at the party. This also provides a unofficial record of attendance of sorts.
Food: Bring your own food (like a picnic or tailgate), along with a
sixpack of NONALCOHOLIC drinks and bag of chips
to share. Or buy burgers from the students at the pregame party or at the game.
Drinks/Snacks: We will have ice chests, ice, snack bowls along with a few
drinks and snacks to get started, but not enough for everyone. Please bring a sixpack of
drinks and a bag of chips or the like to share. Remember, this is a free event and the
only
supplies we have are those DONATED by the folks on the reunion committee.
Tables: We will have tables set up in about 1/3 of the cafeteria for
those who bring food to eat before the game. The rest of the space will be open to
encourage mixing/visiting. For those who don't want to bring food, I encourage you to
maximize visiting time by buying something at the snackbar at the game for dinner.
Family: Spouses and significant others are welcome. Those of you who are
taking your family to the homecoming game are welcome to bring your children to the
pregame party but we are not planning any entertainment for children and you should bring
something to entertain them. This is first and foremost an alumni event and I neither
encourage or discourage children. I felt holding the pregame party at the Candlestick last
year discouraged those with children so El Camino is sort of a neutral location.
Clothing: Encina clothing is encouraged. Wear your old letter jackets,
sweaters, PE shirts or gym shorts (Lucia Churches 73
did this last year). If you can fit into your cheerleader or songleader or mascot costumes
even better! Amy Francis 88 wore
her songleader costume last year at the game.
Music: Jolanne Tierney 81 has volunteered to DJ for the
homecoming party! If you have any song requests, please send them to
Jolanne at jamminjo@email.msn.com
Yearbooks: Bring your yearbooks along to look at and laugh about with your old classmates.
Homecoming game: We will walk over to the stadium around 730 to watch the homecoming game and cheer the Encina varsity team against San Juan. The alumni will have their own sections of the stands.
Homecoming parade: During halftime of the varsity game, we will have four alumni cars in the homecoming parade plus an alumni float. The teachers and staff have been invited to ride in the alumni cars in the parade. Lisa Lowe Rodland 79 is providing the flatbed trailer, Paul Stewart 76 is in charge of decorating the float and Greg Grant 75 will pull the trailer with his jeep in the parade.

Lightsticks. Steve Palmer 74 and Randy Palmer 71 have finagled a box
of 500 green and pink lightsticks from Omniglow (some of you may remember Steve and Randy
do research in things that glow). The lightsticks are 3 inches long, a bit shorter than
those which they brought to last year's game and were such a big hit. This year, we will
be letting the students sell them to raise money for Encina. So save a couple dollars to
buy a few lightsticks at the game! Especially those of you with kids.
Security: We will have off duty sheriffs patrolling the event and locking
up. No alcohol please. We need to be on our best behaviour if we are to use school
facilities for future homecoming parties.
