The current junior class at Perry High School made it clear Friday that when it comes to school spirit, the Class of 2017 is top of the pole … err, stick.
When the final tally of spirit points were awarded at the conclusion of “Game Day” Friday, it was the juniors who claimed the right to parade the PHS Spirit Stick — symbolic of the class with the most spirit — at Friday’s Homecoming game.
Points had been earned throughout the week during themed clothing days (Pajama, Twins, Patriotic and Class Color) as well as for Home Room door and hallway decorations. Points were also accumulated Friday when students spent from 1-3 p.m. in the gym for various competitions as part of “Game Day.”
Capture the Flag, girls dodgeball, boys dodgeball and knockout events were held, with the day ending as the football team divided into classes for a tug o-war, which was won by the seniors.
The class divisions ended quickly, with all eager to support the Bluejays in their Homecoming game at Dewey Field against the Bulldogs of Algona.
