Gomillion High Reunion - Weekend of May 23 & 24
A new mascot image is being debated, the current senior class deadlocked on the vote. Now the original class is being asked to be the tie breaking vote.
Which would you vote for?
History
Gomillion, South Carolina sits at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Originally settled by the Gomillion family in the late 1700s as a logging camp. The camp grew to its present day population of 9,816 people. Main employers are still the mill and textile plant.
The newly built Gomillion High School was state of the art twenty years ago, but as the inaugural class’s twentieth reunion looms; state of the art no longer means the same thing. Assistant Principal Vanessa Smythe Newton (shared character) and Justin Kirkwood (shared character), former student body president and reunion chairperson are working hard to make the reunion a success.
A week of events will serve as fundraisers to address various projects around the school. Wrapping up the week will be a formal dance and dinner for the class with the same cheesy prom theme they used the first time; Kirkwood is nervous to make all the events a success to show the first class is still the best class.
Gomillion’s first graduating class was small but mighty, coining the phrase “Go Millions!” as they all hated the school’s mascot the Millipede. Most of the graduates left right after high school, many have not returned until now. Old disputes and feelings arise, new bonds are formed, and passions kindled as nostalgia drives everyone together.
