Friday pep fest

Players ducking and dodging flying shoes, phone cases, lunch cards, and people wearing orange. Participants running up and down stairs on bleachers filled with people. Players  racing through deserted hallways desperate for paper towels. All to win a silly game. Well those of us who haven’t actually got the chance to participate in the scavenger hunt might think it’s a silly game but boy are they wrong. Being on the inside, students give all they’ve got to try and win this game. Two or three people from each class are representing their entire class. The rest of a graduating class  is depending on the students picked to show everyone that, that grade rules the school.

It gets very competitive and as new coming middle schoolers prepare to watch or participate in the hunt, the new 6th graders probably thought it was going to be fair game, before the first time the new coming middle schoolers had ever watched this scavenger hunt. After watching several games throughout their middle and high school years, the seniors have picked up on all the tips and tricks to a victory. They’d seen it all, and they probably had recycled most of the items on the list from past years. Senior Grant Schlichting and staff member Matt Junker were the final two left in the scavenger hunt. They needed to find the one girl football player in the school who happened to be standing right behind grant.  With a little help from bias judging, this student council sponsored game “just happened” to be won by Senior Grant Schlichting, homecoming king and President of student council.
