Bonfire sparks interest

 Tomorrow, the Senior class delegates and officers will hold the annual Senior Bonfire on the football practice field located behind the stadium. The event started three years ago, and wound up being a tradition more or less by accident.

 The bonfire will basically be an outdoor picnic for seniors only, which will have various field games like kickball and red rover, as well as food such as hot dogs, hamburgers and soda.

 “It’s a lot of fun,” senior class sponsor Kim Rastberger said. “I like being out there with the seniors and some of my fellow teachers who help us make food and get the bonfire done. It really is just a lot of fun.”

 The bonfire, which will have a luau theme this year, has taken a lot of preparation in order to be pulled off successfully, including getting an open fire permit, as well as designing and ordering t-shirts which will sell for $10.

 “[I’m looking forward to] the bonfire because it gets you pumped for summer,” senior class officer Bridget Moriarty said. “It’s going to be sweet, just hanging out with my friends.”
