Finally, on Friday, Color Day arrived. The freshman class got off to a good start by decorating our hallway based on our themes of yellow and air. We hung yellow streamers, covered poles in yellow paper, and even brought in a fan on which we had tied yellow ribbons. Most of us dressed in whatever yellow we could find, as yellow isn’t a very popular color for everyday clothing. At the end of the day on Friday, we went to the Hyannis Green and competed in some games. We won the first game, in which we had to pass a hula hoop around a line of people holding hands. After that, we were competitive for the rest of the small games. We lost to the seniors in tug o’ war, and they went on to win. While we ultimately came in last place overall, we put up a valiant effort!
by Noah Whelpley, Freshman Class Reporter The Class of 2021 anxiously awaits the standings at the conclusion of Spirit Week (Photo by Maggie Adams) Spirit Week was a new experience for the freshmen class, but we progressively performed better each day. The first day was Pajama Day, for which we came in fourth place with just under 50% participation. Tuesday was Superhero/Super-villain/Twin Day, which had a solid turnout. Quite a few people twinned with their friends, and people brought some very interesting superhero costumes. Wednesday was Decades Day, and we represented the sixties. Over three quarters of the Class of 2021 dressed in hippie and other 60's fashions. On Thursday we dressed up in whatever costumes we wanted, and we donned doctor, giant baby, and many other strange and cool costumes! Finally, on Friday, Color Day arrived.

We will work together to get more people to dress up, and we will be prepared for the games on Color Day. We may have lost this time, but we’ll be back next year!
