Northwest, Northern Guilford crown homecoming queens Congratulations to Cassidy Bayliff and Sam Hanlon, 2014/2015 homecoming queens NORTHWEST/NORTHERN GUILFORD – Cassidy Bayliff says she is honored to represent Northwest Guilford’s class of 2015 as homecoming queen. Cassidy is a member of the varsity cheerleading squad and is on the yearbook staff. She enjoys photography, and especially taking pictures of animals, people and nature. Art is one of Cassidy’s favorite classes, and she specifically likes to paint (“I love painting because when you mess up you can paint over it,” she says). Cassidy is active with her church
youth group and enjoys spending time and laughter with her family. She has one sibling, a younger brother who is 13. On being chosen as homecoming queen, Cassidy says, “I think it will be a good story to tell whenever I have my own kids … I want to say thank you to my classmates.”
Besides family and softball, Sam says she loves cheese sandwiches and cold Kit Kats “more than life.” Sam hopes to attend University of Tennessee at Knoxville next year, where she will major in psychology and minor in religious studies.
