ST X OG PRE-MED
CROSS-CLUB COLLAB WITH A MEDICAL TWIST! Written By OG Pre-Med
On February 26, 2021, Oak Grove’s PreMed Club teamed up with Santa Teresa’s Medical Club to host a game of Codenames (medical edition)! Upon arriving at the Zoom meeting, the atmosphere was very calm and friendly. There were some nice discussions between members of both clubs before, during, and after the game, which was definitely nice to see considering that ST and OG are known to be hard rivals (at least, on the football field). Before starting the game, members had the chance to participate in a quick icebreaker and express how they were feeling at the particular moment. The club members were glad to see that many people wrote that they were feeling happy. During these stressful times with school and other priorities, it is nice to know that people are still doing well. So what is Codenames? It is a card game in which two teams compete to reveal their respective secret agents through the one-word clues given to them by the spymasters.
For the duration of the game, OG students competed against ST students, with the presidents of each club serving as the two spymasters. Three total rounds of Codenames were played, and both Oak Grove and Santa Teresa won one round each. The second round was accidentally reset before the game could be completed, but there were no hard feelings, and everyone was understanding of the error! Overall, it was an entertaining event, and it was very nice to be able to collaborate with pre-med clubs from other schools!
