Peculiar Parties “Whoa! Look at the moon,” said Jarrod Chang (12) as he pointed to the rare and twice-as-big red moon in the sky. Held on the last day of finals, the senior class party gave the seniors space to relax and let go of all the stress that built up over the past weeks. David Unruh (12) skilfully built a fire on the sandy beach, lighting up the dimmed evening. “Rahul [Gill (11)] accidentally set his marshmallow on fire and waved it around, which freaked everyone out,” said KeErh Huang (11) about her junior class Halloween party. The juniors’ party featured distasteful-looking but surprisingly delicious food. A bowl of tomato soup which represented blood with baby doll limbs in it, a mannequin head without a brain and in its place some appetizing spaghetti, and for dessert, a cake that looked like a cat litter box. “Rosie [Shin (11)] almost fell off Adrian [Nonis (11)]’s back during one
unravelling at dusk
of our games,” said Vivian Lee (11) said of a game in which each guy attached a raw egg to his forehead and piggybacked his female partner while she tried to crack the egg on others’ heads with a newspaper In another game, a group of juniors chewed on bubble gum, then spit it out and gave it to their team members to mould it into a design or shape. Seniors sat around the fire roasting marshmallows while they chattered with each other. Some adventurous seniors chose to explore the spacious beach and went digging in the sand for crabs. A group of seniors played the “Bunny Bunny” game, a Korean game popularized on the senior sneak. Some just sat and enjoyed the soothing sound of the ocean waves. “Our bonfire was a good way to end the semester as it allowed us to reconnect with our classmates and look forward to our last semester together,” said Christy Chow (12). With college applications, sports, tests, and the regular busyness of everyday
life, seniors had minimal time to hang out with each other before they graduated. “Our party was also a farewell party for Justina [Cryder] (12),” said Sheldon Ang (12). Cryder only joined the senior class for a semester, but the friendships she made will last for much longer. Shooting poisoned darts—toothpicks— at their targets—paper cups—juniors competed against and cheered with each other to get as many targets down as possible. Drinking pink lemonade, laughing hysterically at their classmates’ jokes, and taking funny pictures, class parties served as a way for students to make fond memories that they will treasure as an important aspect of high school. —By Megan Chang
