Friday’s West Plains High School pep rally held as part of Homecoming festivities was described by West Plains R-7 Communications Director Lana Snodgras as “a blast.” With no parade held due to rain, students kicked off Homecoming with a Hot Stuff vs. Teacher volleyball showdown, a special proclamation from West Plains Mayor Mike Toplliff and the announcement of the grand marshal, Activities Director Ashley Cooley. They also celebrated the sports teams and clubs and introduced the Homecoming Court. “The Zizzer Pride Band performed the fight song, and the class tug of war was so much fun,” Snodgras concluded. “Congrats to the junior class spirit stick winners.” Turn to Pages A6 and A7 of today's Gazette to see the sponsors supporting this year's Homecoming.
