Richwoods High School - School Dances

School Dances

RHS hosts three dances for the entire school yearly: Homecoming, Vice Versa, and Prom. Homecoming involves:

  • Spirit Week with dress-up days for the whole school and Class Colors Day (freshmen: green; sophomores: white; juniors: blue; seniors: red).
  • Pep assembly. Part of the competition for the Spirit Stick and to encourage the football players for their game later that evening.
  • Assembly introducing the Homecoming Queen nominees. Since the whole school votes for the Homecoming Queen, the candidates are introduced during a second hour assembly.
  • Stunt Show involves the Olympics (three point shot contest, wheelbarrow race, tug-of-war) and a skit by each class. Each skit contains two dances by dancers from each respective class.
  • Homecoming Game: a home game that is usually well-attended.
  • Homecoming Dance takes place in Richwoods' terrazzo area (like a foyer) and lasts until 23:00.

Vice Versa is not as well attended as Homecoming, but there is a theme and the dress is based on that theme. Traditionally, girls asked the boys to Vice Versa, hence the name of the dance. Vice Versa involves:

  • Assembly introducing the Vice Versa King nominees during second hour. This assembly usually has more excitement because the candidates have on thematic dress.
  • Vice Versa Dance. Couples dress up according to the theme. Voting and crowning of the Vice Versa King occurs before the dance ends at 23:00.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or dances:

    “And Guidobaldo, when he made
    That grammar school of courtesies
    Where wit and beauty learned their trade
    Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
    Had sent no runners to and fro
    That he might learn the shepherds’ will.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “When I wrote of the women in their dances and wildness, it was a mask,
    on their mountain, gold-hunting, singing, in orgy,
    it was a mask; when I wrote of the god,
    fragmented, exiled from himself, his life, the love gone down with song,
    it was myself, split open, unable to speak, in exile from myself.
    ...
    No more masks! No more mythologies!”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
