In class on Thursday, we were surprisingly productive. We came up with a good amount of story ideas, the spring break center spread, and began planning the pages. We brought in Katie Sass who helped us with multitudes of ideas, and we decided to do a point counterpoint about the school spending 16,000 dollars on the Steinway piano for the music department. Also, our substitute Mr. Bullock gave us the idea to do a feature on the student’s favorite substitutes.
These efforts in class definitely paid off because when the intrepid travelers returned from NYC, they had decided to expand the number of pages from 12 to 20. I’m still unsure of how the quality of the pages will fare with such an increase in responsibility for individuals. But you never know until you try, right?
The aftershock of spirit week was very minimal, as the week in general was rather dull, and certainly less than spirited.
Other than that one class period, there was nothing much else of consequence going on at school. The days were filled with movies, free periods, and pointless activities, or business as usual for seniors in the third term.
Junior prom tickets went on sale, with the theme “A night in Paris” which is relatively creative to the seniors theme, or lack thereof. The idea for senior prom is to keep it simple and with white table cloths and simple rose centerpieces, the night promises to be simply elegant.
