On Monday, September 4th, the junior class threw the senior class an after-sneak dinner to welcome them back after their class getaway to Thailand. This year, the juniors chose to give the usually casual dinner a classy spin, basing their theme on the movie Ratatouille.
After their adventure on the Phi Phi Islands, the seniors arrived back on campus at one in the morning of Saturday. Uncle Scott Poulter, a junior class sponsor, greeted them there with a grin while handing out invitations to the dinner, refusing to let slip anything about the previously mysterious theme.
As the seniors crowded and chattered around the white tables on the big day, the juniors slowly escorted each assigned table group down to the dimly lit chapel, which they had adorned with string lights, candles, little rat plushies, rose petals, kitchen gadgets, and more.
“I felt like I really was in Paris for a second there with the French music playing in the background and the decorations hanging all around the room. It was such a nice atmosphere,” commented Rainbow Chan (12).
Rahul Gill (12) added, “It was a bit funny because at first I didn’t realize that the bread and cheese plate wasn’t just a part of the table décor and was actually edible—it’s a good kind of surprise!”
The program began with a short skit about the movie’s villain, acted by John Cho (11), kidnapping Remy the little rat, voiced by Jackson Miller (11). The storyline then progressed to be one where Linguini, the protagonist acted by Seth Kelley (11), and the seniors were on a quest together to impress the critics with their cooking.
Throughout the evening, a few stage games were sandwiched between courses of dinner; and the seniors and sponsors had plenty of time to take pictures with the photo-ops around the room as well.
Unfortunately, the night had to end. The juniors gifted the seniors cookbooks for college, and each class took turns taking their group photos. People eventually started trailing back upstairs, chatting with friends while watching the sunset, cementing the memories from the night into their minds forever and ever.
“Honestly, it was just a fabulous night,” summed Min Guk Kong (11) perfectly.
