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:

    “...I believed passionately that Communists were a race of horned men who divided their time equally between the burning of Nancy Drew books and the devising of a plan of nuclear attack that would land the largest and most lethal bomb squarely upon the third-grade class of Thomas Jefferson School in Morristown, New Jersey.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)

    “Tommy is three and when he’s bad
    his mother dances with him.
    She puts on the record,
    “Red Roses for a Blue Lady”
    and throws him across the room.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
