Night Hawks take down Beach with big win

Happy Homecoming! New traditions A YEAR IN REVIEW made in 2016

Hettinger broke with tradition this year because of the shortened school week and the renovations taking place in the school. In the process, school pride and spirit were ignited, and new traditions began. Dress up days were continued this year and the Student Council was very creative in selecting themes for each day. Throwback Thursday brought apages lot of 8-9 interesting costumes out of local closets and a good deal of reminiscing by staff. Friday was Nighthawk Pride in the entire school; students and staff wore their Nighthawk colors and clothing and walked to the football field to culminate the week of celebration. Other days included Duo Day and Wacky Wednesday. Nighthawks.

Record Editor It was Homecoming last week. But integrated in the week-long school festivities was a bit of family nostalgia for the DaFoes in Hettinger. On Thursday, Sept. 8, the dress-up theme was ‘Throwback Thursday’ and each class was given an era to tailor their outfits around. The freshmen were given the 30s, and Mason DeFoe’s family—DeFoe is a freshman at Hettinger High School—knew exactly how to get him aligned with the theme, with the help of a late relative.

Jan DeFoe said they still have Eddy’s catcher’s mitt. “After high school they played these city league games just to keep playing,” Jan DeFoe said. The uniform had been in storage since Eddy stopped playing, and Jan and Chuck took possession of it around 1982 when Eddy passed away. “He had it in his possession [since] the years he played,” Jan DeFoe said.
