Competition tries to boost class pride

Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Class officers are inviting students to show their spirit today during a class competition from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wescoe Beach. Students can solve a riddle, compete in a hula-hoop contest and play a bean-bag throw game to earn points for their graduating class.

Lauren Lacey, Troy, Mo., freshman, is one of the class officers who helped organize the event and said she hoped to see a lot of participation.

“We’re trying to get it started, so we’re doing little events right now, but in the future we’re hoping to make it into a campus-wide thing,” Lacey said. “We hope with the class competition everyone will be working toward a common goal, so hopefully that will create some unity in the classes.”

Candy and buttons for each class from 2009 to 2012 will be given away, and senior class T-shirts will also be on sale for $10 each.
