Super Prize for a Super Staff

October 11 concluded Loyalsock Township High School's homecoming week, a week full of spirit and unification of the student body through mutual embarrassment! One of the highlights of this week was the float parade and competition, a contest to determine which club or activity has the best float and wins the grand prize of $500. After some intense work and last-minute fixes, Loyalsock's yearbook staff took the prize!

This year, the APALACO staff decided to go with a superhero-themed staff shirt, thus influencing their float and other activities throughout the year. They took the basic telephone booth concept and added old fashioned photography, a cityscape, and, to top it all off, "kick-butt" costumes that were both hilarious and very well made to represent their superheroes. Among the iconic heroes used were Spider Man, Bat Man, Flash Gordon, Wonder Woman, and Cat Woman. In addition to the super heroes, the staff included a "super yerd" that wore all maroon and white and carried around yearbooks from past years. When asked about her experience in the parade, junior Makenna W. replied, "Dressing up and expressing my inner super hero was so enjoyable. My fellow yerds and I really worked hard and we came out champs!"

Below is a link to Loyalsock High School's webpage with all of it's participating clubs. The staff is expected to release their completed yearbook in June of 2014, but until then they are flying off to save the world...one page at a time.
