The 35th annual FC homecoming week is underway, Sept. 30-Oct. 4. The Feather would like to introduce this year’s senior court nominees with a series of ‘Get to Know You’ questions.

Seniors were paired up to highlight a popular board game, a part of the 2019’s theme. Today’s couple is Kayla Vanderlinden and Angel Ruelas and the board game they represent is Operation.

This year’s theme, ‘Homecoming Game On’, will be held at 5:45 p.m., Oct. 4. Campus student leadership has chosen to support the Pregnancy Care Center, Fresno, as the local non-profit who will benefit from funds raised during homecoming night.

Did you know the game Operation first began as a college project? It was designed by a student at the University of Illinois in the early 1960s. The original name of Operation was Death Valley. The creator of the game, John Spinello, needed oral surgery. After the game became popular, Spinello sold the rights to the game for $500 dollars. He needed $25,00 for the surgery and later got the money he needed through crowdfunding.
