Football Homecoming Plans Underway

October 7, 2011, marks the day for Worth County Tiger Football Homecoming celebration. “Classic Football Movies” has been chosen by the Student Council as this year’s theme. Scheduled activities on October 7 include a pep rally at 8:15, a parade which will originate in front of the school at 2:15 and arrive on the square for coronation activities at approximately 2:30. In an attempt to expand the day’s activities, the Student Council is extending an invitation to Worth County organizations or groups encouraging them to sponsor an entry in the parade. The student council asks that NO CANDY be DISPENSED DURING THE PARADE. Information regarding entry requirements, parade order and entry judging may be obtained by contacting Dale Healy, 564-2218. A short pep assembly as well as announcements regarding class and float competitions will precede the coronation activities.

The Student Council is sponsoring a Homecoming Window Decoration contest for Worth County businesses and organizations. Any Worth County business or organization may enter the contest by contacting Mr. Healy at school prior to 3:00, Thursday, October 6. The judging will be done between 5:00 and 10:00 Thursday evening. The winning entry will receive $25 from the student council.

The pre-game show on Friday is slated to begin at 6:35 p.m. on the Frank B. Matteson Memorial Field, with the introduction of the queen and her court escorted by their fathers at 6:35. At 6:50 will be the introduction of teams followed by the playing of the National Anthem by the Worth County Marching Tigers. Opening kickoff between the Worth County Fighting Tigers and the West Nodaway Rockets is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Halftime activities will be conducted.

A dance, sponsored by the student council, will conclude the day’s activities at 11:30. All students, grades 7-12, as well as Worth County alumni are invited to attend. Charge to the dance will be $3.00 per person; $5.00 per couple.

Questions in regard to homecoming activities may be addressed to Jessica Garrett, Student Council President.

2011 Homecoming Royalty are: Queen Candidates – Jessica Garrett, Alexis Hawk, Paige McPike; King Candidates – Jordan Harding, Eli Mullock, Bryson Scott; Junior Attendants – Haven Schottel, Bryce Ross
Sophomore Attendants – Katie Mullock, Andrew Mullock; Freshmen Attendants – Madison Cassavaugh, Gavin Hawk

A special recognition this year goes to the 1981 football team. They will have a float in the parade and be recognized at the game.

We, here at the school, encourage our patrons to take an active role in this year’s Homecoming celebration, whether it is supporting the “Tigers” at the game, sponsoring an entry in the parade, decorating business windows or simply attending the dance. All positive means of support for our school’s celebration will be appreciated.
