Freshman Homecoming performances soars above expectations

During Homecoming, the expectations for the freshman class have always been notoriously low. While most classes fall under the stereotype of doing poorly their freshman year, the class of 2015 impressed many with the feats it pulled off to the theme of Rumplestiltskin.

Typically, the freshman class decorations result from almost nothing at all to shabby cardboard cutouts stuck in random places. However, this year, the front of the cafeteria was adorned with various ornaments such as hay, characters, and other design elements.

“I think we did really well, especially compared to what freshmen usually do,” freshman class president Dani Bruno said. “I think we were really creative.”

In addition, the class of 2015 managed a quad day that consisted of a storyline related to the theme and multiple dances, components that usually seem to be missing from the average freshman quad day. The performance consisted of five dances and ended up being around 15 minutes.

“Freshman quad day in my 19 years here was the best one I have ever seen,” quad day judge Lisa Cochrum said. “I am really excited to see what the freshmen do next year, and I just think they’re going to be an awesome group of kids for school spirit.”

The performance of the freshman class during Homecoming caught the attention of many students.

“It was really impressive,” sophomore class secretary Jane Chang said. “They had a lot of participation and the quad day was really good.”

Bruno hopes that the freshman class’s success in quad day will act as a catalyst for class spirit in future events.

“I think our class is more excited to participate now that they seen how fun it is,” Bruno said. “I really want our class to be more involved in school activities. Our class isn’t that close,
so I want to encourage people to participate in future events so we can all come together.”
