Heights High senior class picnic a fun celebration for all - The Killeen Daily Herald
More than a hundred residents attended the third annual Harker Heights High School senior class picnic Sunday afternoon, an event put on by the Knights of the Round Table to celebrate graduates’ success with the community. “It’s really to let them get a taste of what it takes to put on an event like this because it’s not easy,” said Pat Christ, a Harker Heights councilman, referring to the planning team’s efforts. Christ helped create the Knights of the Round Table, a joint HHHS and city planning group, which collaborates to plan events such as the senior class picnic. “They really put a lot of stock in what we think would be good (at these events),” said Alexander Fermin, a junior in the group. The “hamster ball” — an inflatable ball people can climb in and roll around — was one of many attractions at this year’s event. Sporadic volleyball and tug-o-war games sprouted up. And a raised inflatable platform with a wrecking ball attached to a string at the top was nearly always in use, as four or so students took turns trying to topple each other from their posts. Shebazz and her friends were one of the first groups to slam each other with the rock-like cushioned balls. Both Hill and Shebazz are dance team members. Shebazz will attend Texas State University in the fall and wants to become a dance teacher. Source: kdhnews.com
