The time has come. After two years of pulling a close second place behind the senior class during spirit week, the class of 2010 is more than ready to experience their year of victory.
It is often assumed that the senior class automatically wins spirit week. Last year kept everyone on edge with the class of 2009 beating the current seniors by a mere 67 total points.
“Dress-ups killed us. We got first in lip sync and boys poms but the seniors still came out on top somehow,” said Lauren Dille, senior.
The class of 2010 has been known in previous years as a serious threat when it comes to spirit week competition. Their goal has always been to undermine the upper grades. Now that they’re on top of the food chain, their drive is to take the championship title by going out with a bang.
At the neighborhood meeting before spirit week, Mallory Alpert, senior, and Thomas Porter, senior, stood up and gave a commissioning pep talk to the class of 2010 to pump them up for their final high school spirit week.
“It’s our last year. Go crazy, dress up…Let’s win by the largest margin possible. Let’s dominate!” This was the battle cry of the motivational duo.
Although the class of 2010 has had trouble rallying support on the hallways team, the plan for their Christmas-themed hallway this year is promising.
“We could still use more help every day after school,” said Ana Tanner, senior, “our plan is great, but we need help executing it.”
The lip sync and boys poms routines, notorious for their impressive results, are choreographed to wow the school with a final impression.
“There is no way we can’t have fun doing this,” said Amanda Wiele, senior.
The senior class has been building up an ego over the years with their relentless school spirit and shocking success since freshman year.
“I think we could use an attitude check. It’s fun to compete, but there’s no reason to ruin it by being jerks to everyone else,” said Jamie Zimmer, senior.
The seniors’ pride should stand as a challenge to younger classmen to rise up and give them a run for their money. While they certainly aren’t undefeatable, the overwhelming attitude of the class of 2010 is one of fair warning to the other classes to bear down and prepare to get blown away.
