Students Rock Homecoming Week

Opinion

Homecoming week is always full of great times and memories. We seniors at Port Huron Northern have recently experienced this for the last time.

  Homecoming at Northern involves wall building, kart races, spirit days, an assembly, and last but not least a dance. There are rivalries between the different grades to win “The Barrel.”

  Each day a count is  taken for class participation in each grade. At the end of the homecoming, everything from games, spirit days, and competitions gets tallied up.

  The seniors came in winning almost every category during the week except for the dance which we were disqualified for. BOOO! Thumbs down judges.

We almost won the kart races at the football game, but somehow we came in second. These losses caused us seniors to get extremely upset.

  Even with the disappointment that us seniors felt after losing, our football team kept the excitement up in our stadium.

  Northern’s Varsity Football team played the most intense game of this year so far.  Managing to score a touchdown in the last four seconds of the game…Northern won!

  All of the seniors lead the lower grades to the field and we rushed the field when the clock hit zero. That’s one of the coolest feelings after our boys win the night under the lights.

    With the help of many artistic kids, our eighties wall managed to take the win as well!

  On Saturday, Northern’s cafeteria was filled with over a hundred students. The dance itself was not as fun as it could have been.

  The floor was slippery and slimy from the sweat of students...ewww!

  The music was a total bust! We are in the second decade of the 2000’s not in the 90’s-00’s music. If the DJ would’ve played more up to date songs, everyone would have enjoyed the dance more.

  Even with the disappointment of the dance itself, seniors left happy because we won the week over! We took that barrel and claimed it ours for the second year in a row!

  We seniors are finally coming together as a class,whether it be because its our last year in school or just the excitement that we are finally becoming one.

  To R15E ABOVE ALL, will be our greatest victory.

  I do not think I am alone with how far our class has come with school involvement and participation!

Remember freshman year? Look at us now.
