‘A Hornet's Tale' Has Happy Ending With 33-15 Win
Published: Monday, October 15, 2007

The Jerry Litton Memorial Stadium was filled to near capacity as the Chillicothe Hornets won over the Cameron Dragons in the 89th annual football homecoming Friday night. The theme for Homecoming 2007 was “A Hornet's Tale” and after the Hornets finished writing the last chapter with a 33-15 victory on the home field, Sara Mathew was crowned queen and Morgan Saunders, king.

With the CHS Marching Hornets and flag corps members uniformly positioned on the football field, each member of the homecoming royalty was escorted down the 50-yard line. The student body had voted on the king and queen earlier in the week and the winners were announced Friday night. Mathew is the daughter of Todd and Mary Mathew. Saunders is the son of Stan and Michelle Saunders.

Mathew plays softball and basketball, is captain of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter and secretary/treasurer of the senior class and is a member of Student Council and the National Honor Society. She is listed on the Principal's Honor Roll and received an academic letter. She was a sophomore homecoming attendant. Mathew is a member of St. Columban Catholic Church and is involved with the Christ for Life youth group. Her plans include attending the University of Missouri in Columbia, majoring in physical therapy.

Saunders is involved in tennis and this year he will have completed four years as a member of the CHS tennis team. Saunders is a tennis doubles state qualifier and placed seventh in that tournament. He is a member of Future Business Leaders of America and has earned state qualifying honors in FBLA. He is a member of Cornerstone Church, 2:28 youth group and the youth band. He plans to attend Oral Roberts University and major in marketing.

In addition to Morgan Saunders, king candidates were Cody Greenlaw, son of Cal and Cheryle Greenlaw; Logan Gilliland, son of Joe and Kathy Gilliland; Weston Baker, son of Randall Baker and Debbie Nolen; and John Riekena, son of Tim and Tami Riekena.

In addition to Sara Mathew, queen candidates were Mallory Lowe, daughter of Doug Lowe and Margie Lowe; Brooklyn Shearer, daughter of David and Chris Shearer; Morgan Quinn, daughter of Raymond and Robin Quinn; and Kate Lindley, daughter of Bruce and Susan Lindley.

The coronation procession was led by student council officers Meghan Perry, president; Amanda Fender, vice president; Sally Baldwin, corresponding secretary; Joseph Stull, recording secretary; and Heidi McCoy, treasurer.

CHS Celebrates Homecoming Week
C-T Article, Wednesday, September 27, 2006

Activities for the Chillicothe High School Homecoming week are under way and students are gearing up for the annual homecoming game which will be held at 7 p.m. on Friday against the Savannah Savages. This year's homecoming theme is “Wild Wild West.” The CHS homecoming week, sponsored by the student council, includes a variety of activities for the students to participate in.

CAPTION: Mallory and Cory Lowe worked on the Chillicothe High School homecoming royalty float Tuesday night outside of the school.

The events began on Monday when students participated in “Fake an Injury/Doctor Day.” According to Principal Tom Anderson, many students participated in this spirit activity and the high school looked like a surgical unit straight from a hospital. On Tuesday, the high school was filled with Superman and Wonderwoman look-a-likes as the students participated in “Superhero Day.” The halls of CHS were filled Wednesday with students dressed in fashion from the 1980s and an 80s trivia contest was held a lunch. Students will continue the Wild Wild West homecoming theme on Thursday as they celebrate “Cowboys and Indians Day.” Before school on Thursday, officials report that a “turkey bowling contest” will be held.

In keeping with past tradition, students will dress in red and black on Friday to show their Hornet spirit and before school on Friday, a doughnut eating contest will be held. Best dressed awards were to be given out throughout the week.

Traditional events keep CHS in 'Danger Zone' for Homecoming '05
C-T, Catherine Stortz Ripley, Monday, October 3, 2005

Dry and mild weather set the stage for a successful Chillicothe High School Homecoming week that culminated with a big football win and the naming of royalty Friday night. The football Hornets more than fulfilled the crowd's appetite for victory by blanking the St. Joseph: Lafayette Fighting Irish 41-0 at Jerry Litton Memorial Stadium. Following the game, senior Katie Meyers, daughter of Larry and Becky Meyers, was crowned queen; and senior Andrew Campbell, son of Gary and Beverly Campbell, was crowned king. The theme for Homecoming 2005 was "Danger Zone."

Also providing glamour to the week of activities was the annual parade held that afternoon. The junior class captured first-place honors in the class competition of the parade, taking the title away from the current senior class that has won the class competition for the past three years. The class competition is a year-long event that the Student Council sponsors with the winner being awarded a movie at Grand 6 Theater in May. The Hunting and Fishing Club was the overall winner of this year's parade.

Long-time school supporters David and Darla Macoubrie were chosen by the CHS Student Council to serve as grand marshals for the parade and were also recognized during the coronation that evening. The Macoubries, both graduates of Carrollton High School, moved to Chillicothe in 1965. David has practiced law since 1965 and Darla is retired from the retail field. They are supporters of youth activities, largely because of their two sons, four grandsons and four granddaughters.

The homecoming dance was Saturday night in the high school commons. "Homecoming last week was one of the best we have seen at CHS," said Jeanne Lair, who with her husband, Mike, serves as CHS Student Council adviser. "It appeared that students definitely enjoyed the activities of the week."

CHS Celebrates Homecoming
By MEGAN NEIS / C-T Staff Writer

100603 homecoming royalty (18588 bytes)The Chillicothe High School 2003 Homecoming proved to be a great success, thanks to beautiful weather and lots of school support.

The football Hornets celebrated a 40-13 victory over the Lafayette Fighting Irish on Friday night. The theme for Homecoming was "Another One Bites the Dust." Bob Levy, CHS principal, said that the school put emphasis into the entire week of homecoming and it was all great.

Another activity that made this year's event a success was the annual parade on Washington Street Friday. Dr. James and Martha Eden both served as grand marshals of the parade. Dr. Eden served as Chillicothe school's superintendent for 19 years and also ran the game clock at football games for many years. The CHS student council chose the grand marshals.

The homecoming dance was held Saturday night at the CHS commons. "The crowd was enormous and the disc jockey was wonderful," Levy said.

One of the most anticipated events of homecoming is the crowning of the king and queen. After announcing the names of all female and male class attendants from grades 9-11, the audience was then provided with the names of the senior queen and king candidates. Sharla Fender was crowned queen and Daniel Meyer was crowned king following the homecoming game. Each queen candidate was escorted down the middle of the football field by a king candidate.
