Picnic buddy day! When we were young we all looked forward to this day each and every year. This is a highly anticipated day for both Lower Schoolers and their older buddies. We Upper School buddies should be nice and enthusiastic to our little buddies, because this is the best day of their life (or so they think now). These kids look up to us, we are like their heroes!! So, don’t be late picking up your buddy, they will get upset and think that you aren’t coming! Don’t lose your buddy either, that’s just embarrassing. Don’t be a jerk to your buddy, and you better win your buddy a pop at the ring toss. They WILL remember you for the rest of their lives!!!

What NOT to Wear. By Diana Kim Swan Dress. No. Don’t ever wear this dress in public. Because you will attract wilderness creatures to our homecoming. Not cool. If your life-long dream is to show up as a duster, than wear it. But if you’re not… Save yourself some embarrassment. Meat dress? Don’t follow this trend she tried to start. Its terrible. *sidenote* Go google “fat lady gaga.” I don’t even know where to start. This is like a mix of George Anderson and a Mexican salsa dancer.
president:Vafa Behzadpour
I believe and freedom and that there are no excuses not to dress like a lunatic next week. Buy your ticket and save a dance for me!!! God Bless the USA!!!
Grape dress or balloon dress? Both ways it’s not good.
How to enjoy Homecoming this year. By Jake Barrett The only thing more awkward than a Homecoming Dance is a Homecoming Dance that nobody dances at. Homecoming is the ONE formal dance that we have as a High School, so everyone needs to make the most of it. Often, people say, "I'm not going to Homecoming," or, "I don't have a date, so I'm not going." Isn't that your own fault? Just ask a friend of yours to homecoming, go, and have a fun time. At the dance, don't be afraid that you'll make a fool of yourself while dancing. We all know that EVERYONE isn't a dancer like Molly Haines, so just have fun busting out whatever moves you have (or shouldn't have). Be yourself on the dance floor, and people won't judge you for doing that. After the dance, try to make good decisions. Drinking and driving? Not smart. One fun night isn't worth your life. All in all, be yourself, have fun, and don't be stupid.
