Year in Review

-Commitment to Graduate sign (Thumbs down)
A neon green sign was put up on a wall in the commons.
-Hype Inc. (Thumbs up)
This club was especially active first semester. They held tailgates before football games and filled the stadium with “hyphy” suits.
-Orangle Leaf opens up across the street (Thumbs up)
This was an instant hit among students.
-Everyone enrolled at Free State included on list for Homecoming nominations (Thumbs up)
When members of the senior class found out that some seniors such as Homecoming King Owen Phariss were not included on the nomination list, they drew up a petition and presented it to Principal Ed West.
-Bacterial Meningitis freak-out (Thumbs down)
Several people at Free State contracted bacterial meningitis and people freaked out, bird-flu style.
-Open lunch debate (Thumbs down)
The school board considered closing open lunch. This caused considerable uproar among students, especially upperclassmen.
-Return of Raise the Roof (Thumbs up)
Just like Great Green Help, Raise the Roof did not happen last year but made a comeback this year thanks to the Spirit Squad.
-Boys Basketball game at LHS (Thumbs down)
This was an incredibly fun and exciting game, but the fights and Facebook groups afterwards were all really unnecessary
-LHS forking our football field during Senior Week (Thumbs down)

The only thing that needs to be said: Really?

.-Return of Great Green Help (Thumbs up)
Unfortunately for this year’s seniors Great Green Help was not around their junior year, but it made a return this year. Great Green Help was sponsored by Environmental Club and around half of the junior class participated.
-Four Queens and two Kings (Thumbs up)
Owen Phariss won Homecoming King and Rachel Heeb and Audrey Hughes tied for Queen. Later, Justin McCandless won Prom King and McKenzie Dever and Adriane Dick tied for Queen.
