Wildcat, Wildcat what do you see? I see the halls and decorated doors of WCHS looking at me! Door decorating is an event that has evolved over the years in the celebration of homecoming. People haven’t always decorated doors in the homecoming celebration. Students show their school spirit by decorating doors during Activity Period, before, and after school.
This year
the theme of doors was books. Students in the high school came up
with various ideas ranging from Nicholas Sparks to Dr. Suess and
included themes like “Feed Those Coyotes the Grapes of Wrath,” “The
Wildcats Will Win Inch by Inch,” “Green Eggs and Coyotes,” “The
Very Hungry Wildcat,” “Call of the Wildcat,” “A Walk to Remember,”
and many more. Each class decorated from two to three doors, and
they were judged on Thursday. Taking first in door decorating was
the Seniors, and second went to the Juniors. Freshman received
third, while Sophomores received fourth. First place winners in all
contests received a extended lunch period.
“I loved door decorating. I had a great time with my classmates,” says Catherine Jenkinson. Door decorating is a great event that helps students show school spirit and make many memories.
