DOVER —
The schedule of events for the First Annual Dover High School Homecoming to be held on Saturday October 2, 2010 on the DHS campus has been announced. The event is open to the public and in particular anyone that attended either the “old” or “new” Dover High Schools. Day-long activities will begin with an “Alumni Division” in the Dover Apple Harvest road race in downtown Dover and end with the varsity football game on Dunaway Field.
The homecoming committee has been working several months to present a well rounded program with doors at the Alumni Drive Dover High School opening at 9 am and featuring a three ring affair with entertainment in the Frederick C. Walker Auditorium, athletic events starting at 10 am in The Oliver J. Adams Gymnasium and Judson Dunaway Fields and class meetings and school tours originating from the mezzanine, cafeteria and Mary C. Reilly Library.
Historic displays include several videos, including a recently produced interview with three of the honorees of the first homecoming, former high school principals A. Harvey Knepp, Kent Rosberg and Greg Kageleiry along with a slide show presentation from 60 years of DHS yearbooks. Football game ceremonies will include introduction of four outstanding contributors to Dover High School as well as the Dover American Legion Post 8 coordinated salute to veterans and active military at 1:15 pm, prior to kick-off of the Dover-Alvirne varsity football game. Halftime of the football game will feature a special half-time show by the Green Wave marching band and alumni.
Evening events will continue the homecoming theme as independent, post homecoming venues welcome alumni including informal gatherings at favorite Green Wave establishments Kelley’s Row, Roger’s Pizza and a special performance by The Spectras at the Somersworth VFW Hall. For more information and Spectras ticket forms email DHS.Homecoming@gmail.com.
