It’s Homecoming time at VHS: Time for some healthy competition!
By Tammy Vanderzanden, VHS Alumnus
Homecoming is an annu-
al tradition at most high
schools and colleges in
the United States. It’s a
time to welcome back for-
mer residents and alumni,
as well as a time for cur-
rent students to show
their school spirit.
I’m sure many of you will
never forget Homecom-
ing week at VHS. For the
girls, this was the much-
anticipated “Mum” sea-
son; when your best beau bought you the yellow mum corsage
with the gold football dangling from it.
It was a high-
energy time…
students were
p s y c h e d …
teachers were
in good moods.
For all, there
were the crazy
dress-up days,
hall
decora-
tions, air jams,
and serious sign
competitions;
“Knock Corbett
into Orbit,” was
one of our win-
ning signs. And then there was Kangaroo Court, the flying pies…
and the skits…the pictures speak for themselves!
Some may remember the crazy serpentines down Bridge street,
and let’s not forget the bonfire and how the senior class was in
charge of guarding over
it the nights before the
game…lest anyone got a
notion to light it early!
This year the VHS Home-
coming game is set for
October 19, when the
Logger’s play Warrenton.
Kick-off is at 7:00 p.m.
Gather your fellow class-
mates, come cheer on the
Loggers and reminisce
about old times!
How about a little friendly com-
petition? Let’s see which class
can round up the most alumni to
attend the game. Let’s rock the
grand stand. We look forward to
seeing you later this month! GO
LOGGERS!!
