Homecoming Weekend
By Ali Al-Yahya
Homecoming was a huge success. The talent show went well on Friday, and everyone enjoyed seeing their peers’ talents. The cadets sang, danced, acted and played instruments. Wentworth has a lot of talent!!
The next morning the HS Volleyball team joined in running the 5k with other cadets and civilians. It was a struggle for some due to the cold, but a great success. Their coach trained them well. Many received medals for their achievement.
The first Dragon Festival took place in the field house on Saturday morning. Children, cadets, and even adults, enjoyed the games, bouncy house and slide, popcorn, sno-cones, cotton candy, and various craft-making tables.
That afternoon, the Homecoming Parade took place through the streets of downtown Lexington. Not only did the Corps of Cadets participate, but also the Old Boys from the 90’s. The Homecoming Queen, Cadet Lexus Wells, and Princesses, Cadets Hailey Long and Guadalupe Mendez, rode on their float and waved to the crowd. The parade was something that everyone was proud of, since cadets and everyone who participated did such a good job.
The soccer team was victorious in its first Homecoming game. The first half ended with the Dragons leading 4-0 and they finished strong winning 7-1. Everyone was excited for the team and cheered them on. The soccer team worked hard as a team and I believe they deserved this win.
Sunday morning, Wentworth had a Memorial Ceremony, which took place in the chapel due to weather conditions. The ceremony was inspirational and was finished singing the Wentworth song. After the Memorial Ceremony, cadets did a Pass in Review Parade. The alumni finished the day doing the flag ceremony. According to the Commandant, the parade was a success and so was Homecoming in general. The alumni that came home were happy and so were the Corps of Cadets.
Many events took place over the weekend and these are just a few that were enjoyed by all.
