Spartan Voice Homecoming 2022: September 23, 2022
Walk the Plank! By Julia Longsworth Monday’s theme was “Color Day!” Each grade pulled up in their most vibrant outfits. The seniors wore pink, the juniors wore green, the sophomores wore blue, and, finally, the freshmen wore brown. The senior pink ladies won the hearts of the judges with their perfectly pink outfits! Tuesday’s theme was “Sports.” The seniors were assigned basketball as their sport, the juniors’ theme was football, the sophomores wore their best golf outfits, and the freshmen’s theme was boxing! The freshmen and sophomores required a tiebreaker based on the student body’s applause, and the sophomores were ultimately the winners! Wednesday’s theme was “Holidays!” Seniors dressed in their best Christmas/Eid outfits, the uniors looked very patriotic for their 4th of July theme, the sophomores’ Halloween costumes gave everyone quite the scare, and the freshmen wore their glorious green outfits for St. Patrick’s Day! Sophomore Jamie Haan secured the judges’ votes with his old man costume! Thursday’s theme was “Walk the Plank.” Everyone was tasked with dressing in their best pirate gAR(GH)b! Many students (and teachers!) participated in this theme. It was a tough decision between the juniors’ costumes and the seniors’, but the swashbuckling senior Joey Kotkin’s makeshift pirate ship was too good to be beat!
Homecoming Treasure Hunt! By Jude Cunningham You may have been wondering about the origins of this year’s homecoming week treasure hunt, and, luckily for you, I’m writing to answer this mystery. It started over a year ago as the idea of a pirate formulated in the deep recesses of my mind. Unfortunately, at the time I was only a junior representative and my idea for homecoming was shot down like a B-2 bomber over the shores of Normandy. I didn’t let this major adversity stop me, so I waited and waited until the year came when I HAD POWER. I wanted the last Collegiate homecoming I experienced to be unique and fun, and what other way could I accomplish this than sending the school on a wild goose chase, digging up holes around the campus? I knew this idea would never come to life if I were the only backer, so I did what any logical man would do, and recruited the most swag members of STUCO: Conner Jones and Saad Malik. Once Pirate Homecoming was set, we formulated clues to lead the masses to the treasure! (treasure hunt winners and clues on the back page)
