Students participate in school pride during Homecoming festivities Kalindi Desai Managing Editor Homecoming week: a week full of dress up days, positive vibes between staff and students, and of course plenty of school spirit. All of these things make this one of the most anticipated weeks of the school year for students. “My favorite part about Homecoming week is that everybody is really excited and they seem to have a lot of school spirit,” chemistry teacher Casey Akin said. “It’s just a nice time of fellowship and friendship among Cougars.” Dress up days are meant to help students get excited for the weekend and into the schools spirit. This year’s dress up days included tour-

ist day, neon day, Hawaiian day and Purple Pride day. At the pep rally on Friday, the full Homecoming court was presented. This year two seniors tied for king, resulting in Ben Hanik and Timarcus Davis reigning as co-kings for the year. “It feels really great,” senior Ben Hanik said. “It was a huge honor to be selected by the student body as a person that they admire.” The spirits were high at the football game that night. The team took an easy win over St. Thomas, 49-14. At halftime, all the duchesses took the field with their parents, onto the field and senior Allison Dohrman was crowned queen. The dance on Saturday involved more than 1,000 people at the Hollywood themed party in the school gym. •
