A unique Homecoming week was concluded for A-day students Wednesday, Oct. 21 with a morning pep assembly featuring a toga contest and relay race.

Activities director Nate Parseghian kicked off the festivities by calling up the five seniors who wore togas for the traditional senior dress-up day.  Student body president Jack Miller joined Rainna Floyd, Skylar Higgs, Fionn Camp and Nathan Brown in flaunting their Greek garb.  Audience applause crowned Brown, with his Park High socks, the winner.

A relay race pitting freshmen through seniors against each other ended the assembly, with the championship round proclaiming freshman Cole Bartz the winner.
