Homecoming 2015

by Jessica Smith - October 19, 2015

The 2015 Wellsboro Homecoming commenced October 12th. The week started with great participation in “ER Day.” ER Day was celebrated by dressing as anything that ends in -ER. We had teachers, lawyers, sleepers, and even a flower.

Tuesday was dubbed “Color Day.” Students and faculty also enjoyed an indoor field day. They competed in games like a cape relay, a marshmallow and spaghetti and tower game, and a shoe tower game.

Wednesday was “Super Hero Day.” Students and faculty sported their best Batman, Superman, and The Avengers costumes. Some even dressed as firemen, police, and other community heroes. After school on Wednesday, the first annual Ultimate Frisbee Tournament took place. Wellsboro High School held preliminary rounds on the practice field, with concession stands present on the sidelines for the occasion. As darkness descended and the Middle School Football team finished their game, the Ultimate Frisbee finals began under the lights.

The final two final teams were the Plain White Tees and the Frisbee Flingers. Plain White Tees was led by Jenny Young and included the following players: Darci Warner, Rich Tardieu, Kailee Clymer, Alyssa Yungwirth, Brianne Keane, Ben Moss, Parker Mann, Joey Mesmer, and Philip Straniere. Frisbee Flingers was led by Alexa Singer and included the following players: Maddy Clemens, Emma Eccher, Sarah Ingerick, Camryn Keane, James Mundy, Alex Kozuhowski, Chase Moser, and Clint Walker. Play White Tees won the tournament. The annual bonfire followed the tournament.

Thursday was a blast from the past, as students and teachers dressed up for “Throwback Thursday.” The day began with the King and Queen Preview, where the five queen candidates and the five king candidates were interviewed for the subsequent election. The Community Business Window Decorating Contest was also judged on Thursday.

Friday was “School Spirit Day,” so all students and faculty dressed in green and white. Some Student Council members went to the Charollete Lappla and Don Gill Schools to paint faces for younger students. At the high school, students were able to purchase “Spirit Couch” tickets and “Spirit Merchandise” during lunches. Before the school day ended, Student Council led a pep rally. This event included an Alma Mater Contest between each grade and the faculty, a human version of Hungry, Hungry Hippos, and an update from each team captain on the season.

As the day came to a close the winner of the “Spirit Couch,” Maddy Kyle, was drawn. The Spirit Medallion had still not been found, so the search was on. Shortly after the final bell rang, Andrew Brelo found the medallion and won a $5 gift certificate to the Java Hive Cafe. Excitement stirred as the floats arrived at the school to be judged before the Homecoming Parade began at 5:30pm. The parade included most of the Homecoming Court, and even the Flaming Foliage Queen participated.

After the parade, it was time for the Friday Night Lights. The Wellsboro Hornet Football team played the Bloomsburg Panthers and won 35 to 7. At halftime, the Homecoming Court was announced and the 2015 Homecoming King and Queen were crowned. Congratulations “King” James Mundy and “Queen” Emma Eccher. Congratulations also to the runners up, Branson Watkins and Billie Jo Priset. Finally, felicitations to the rest of the Homecoming Court, including Freshmen Princesses Zoe Iseri and Kyra Keck, Freshmen Prince Andrew Brelo, Sophomore Prince and Princess Logan Moral and Kailyn Judlin, Junior Prince and Princess Casey Hoover and Maddy Hepp, and the Senior King and Queen candidates: Larry Walters and Jordyn Coffee, Wyatt Wood and Maddy Clemens, and Jada Jackson and Levi Holliday.

Homecoming week concluded with a “Club Style” Homecoming Dance for the high schoolers to enjoy.
