DHS Senior Run
Decatur Metro | May 26, 2009Teacher Chris Billingsley sends in some candid pics from DHS last week. Seniors did their annual run through the halls, ending at the media center.
Chris continues, “Graduation is [this]week in the stadium. Several are off to Yale and Harvard. Quite a few to Georgia and Tech. Almost all seniors have college, career, or military plans. Good Luck! Carpe Diem!”
To make this event truly entertaining, DHS should turn the underclassmen loose just prior to releasing the seniors; then, the latter could chase the former through the halls, a la Pamplona…Admin could sell tickets to the public, which would be allowed to place bets on who’d escape the stampede unscathed. The seniors would have fun, the underclassmen could get some exercise, and DHS could pocket a little extra $$ (so maybe they wouldn’t have to ask the kids to peddle candy bars and wrapping paper for activities).
Yes, yes, I know– I should totally be a school board member.
Cool – love this idea for a senior class tradition. I’ve lived here so long, I’m surprised I never heard about this.
We could pit neighborhood teams against each other (like medieval Italian cities.) Local businesses could sponsor the fastest runners… bad ideas abound
And don’t forget the paddles, a la Dazed and Confused…
LOL! Ah, yes– those who avoid getting stampeded still have to survive the Paddle Gauntlet…
