A tradition that is upheld at South San Francisco High School is with the football team. In the Fall, during the football season, students await an event called The Bell Game. The Bell Game is an annual tradition where South San Francisco High School plays against their rival, El Camino High School. Most of the student body at South City, as well as the rest of the community, attend the football game. The student governments from both schools set up decorations and help show school spirit at the game. The bands from both schools also compete to be the louder band in a friendly competition. In the end, the school that wins the football game wins the trophy, also known as "The Bell." The 2011 Bell Game was the 50th.

Famous quotes containing the words extra and/or activities:
“When a lady of wealth, is seen roaming about in search of cheaper articles, or trying to beat down a shopkeeper, or making a close bargain with those she employs, the impropriety is glaring to all minds. A person of wealth has no occasion to spend time in looking for extra cheap articles; her time could be more profitably employed in distributing to the wants of others. And the practice of beating down tradespeople, is vulgar and degrading, in any one.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
