Blair welcomes its students back to school with the homecoming dance

On Sept. 29, Blazers came together to celebrate the beginning of the school year at Blair's annual homecoming dance that ran from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. When the gym became stiflingly hot, the hallway was a refreshing retreat for students to get food and drinks, such as pizza and shaved ice. To capture the moment, students flocked to the photo booth provided by the school.

For freshmen like Colin Leterer, homecoming was a great welcome to high school. “I made friends with these two kids that I got to hang out with more,” Leterer said.

Homecoming was a fun time for upperclassman as well. However, it was not the same as previous years. Abem Addis reported that homecoming is always a good time, but that it was more fun when he was a freshman. “For me, freshmen year [homecoming] was the best one, because freshman year is the year everyone goes,” Addis said.
