Dual-wielding dodgeballs, Jason Kim (12) steps to the halfway line on the basketball court, firing a cannon at a group of cowering sophomores. As I watch on from the window in Room 25, young students wincing in pain, I remember a time when we could stay on campus and spend time with each other, exploring the campus, and enjoying the company of my fellow classmates.
This past Friday, the Seniors and Sophomores participated in inter-class activities, courtesy of the amazing ExCom members of both classes that made the event possible. Dodgeball, board games, and an open mic, the event was full of numerous activities that kept everyone engaged.
When asked about his favorite part of the event, Dylan Chew (12) said, “Being able to stay back till nine on campus and play sports with the underclassmen gave a hint of pre-covid, and I enjoyed every minute of it.”
The games helped everyone familiarize themselves with the sophomores and enjoy the campus at night. After the planned events, the more athletic students decided to enjoy some indoor football.
As a senior myself, I found the open mic and spending time with friends to be the most enjoyable part. For others, dodgeball, and for others, board games.
For Yong-Yu Huang (12), member of ExCom and Class President, she found enjoyment in the smaller things, saying, “I hit Jason two times. He never saw me coming.” Just as Yong-Yu had fun hitting her classmate, I’m sure that the other seniors enjoyed solidifying their place at the top of the food chain.
The sophomores seemed to enjoy themselves as well, participating in all the available activities and getting to know the seniors better. Yong-Yu was surprised, saying that “some of the sophomores are scarily good at dodgeball.”
The event was a great time, with options available for everyone. A big
thanks to the ExCom of both classes for making the event possible, and a
special thanks to the sponsors for chaperoning everything.
