Gilpin Homecoming Festivities
By Esmee Halsted
Gilpin County School celebrated Homecoming recently. To kick off the week students dressed as senior citizens on Monday and Twins on Tuesday. Canes and robes slowed students down, but to reclaim their youth they wore wacky shirts and socks as well as black on Wednesday and Thursday. The excitement continued as students and teachers faced off in a series of games at the pep rally. Students won by a landslide, but the real rivalry was between the classes. The competition was settled when sophomores won the tug of war game, another Gilpin tradition. As usual, cheerleaders did a rendition of “Funky Chicken” and a one of a kind dance. Next Joleen Slack cheer captain, announced Gilpin High School Royalty. Congratulations to Hannah Donaldson as Countess, Brandon Robinson as Count, Callie Ralstin as Duchess, Will Hunt as Duke, Brookelyn Purser as Princess, and Blake Boulter as Prince. Most of all, congratulations to Queen Bailey Hobson-Kroll, and King Tyler Branning. After the pep rally, high school volleyball won vs Front Range Christian 24-26. They won all three games that they played proving Gilpin’s integrity in the classroom and on the court. With renewed spirit, students went home feeling pumped just in time for the annual parade.
