![Receiving the golden football, senior Chloe Hershenow is crowned Homecoming Queen alongside the maids on the 2018 Homecoming Court. This was Hershenow’s first time as a maid. “It was really sweet because everyone was cheering and really happy for me and I was kind of in shock,” Hershenow said. “It was really humbling too because it felt really odd to me to be chosen by my classmates [for Homecoming Queen.]”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_8632-900x599.jpg)
![With a trophy in hand, speech and debate coach Cara Borgsmiller congratulates senior Cheryl Ma. She alongside fellow senior Ryan O'Connor qualified for the 2018 National Speech & Debate Tournament in public forum debate after going undefeated at the Eastern Missouri district tournament. “It was really exciting. It was different than it is for most people because Ryan and I were undefeated the whole tournament, so they decided [we qualified] automatically even before the actual awards were announced since we were the only undefeated team,” Ma said. “We found out before the actual awards ceremony, so it relieved a lot of pressure because usually people are very anxious during awards.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0408-900x600.jpg)
![Representing the girls’ track and field team, senior Emily Dickson leads a conga line with Lafayette junior Bharat Sreekrishnavilas. “Apparently Bharat didn’t know what a conga line was, so he walked in like an elf. I knew [running in] was going to be crazy since there’s about 100 people on the team,” Dickson said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DSC_9725-e1521829123640-900x675.jpg)
![Freshmen Tyler Kinzy and Praveen Dharmavarapu work on their cases during free time in between rounds. Jefferson City High School hosted one of the last tournaments for debate teams around the state before districts. “I’ve done two tournaments so far and I’ve won first place at both of them, so it’s definitely been something surprising, especially to join this late in the season when everyone else has been [competing] for a while,” Kinzy said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0752-900x600.jpg)
![Senior Cheryl Ma, junior Maddie Cooke and seniors Anna Chen and Haran Kumar pose with hats from Ozarkland. “We stopped at Ozarkland and bought silly hats, and I bought a Chili’s hat. Ozarkland was midwestern and had all of these funny signs,” Cooke said. “One sign that we saw said ‘American by birth, rebel by choice,’ and that was a joke we kept saying to each other the whole time [at Jeff City].”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/IMG_4361-900x599.jpg)
