A Memorable JSB

By Moriah Winsor

Entering into the extremely unfamiliar walls of Harbor Hall late Friday evening, seniors and sophomores were shocked by the overwhelming decor imitating Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. All four painted panels (beautifully done by some unknown juniors) really transformed the entire harbor hall. “It was truly like being submerged into Willy Wonka’s factory,” said Moriah Winsor (12). 

The green-haired Oompa Loompas made seniors of all ages question the true whereabouts of the banquet, making some believe they were truly teleported into a world of fantastic chocolate and sweets. The Oompa Loompas impacted everyone in ways the juniors may not have expected. Whether or not this was due to the strong pigmentation of their bright green hair, or Cullno’s intense dance sequence in a song towards the end, their antics were one of the highlights of the evening. 

Though the appetizers were somewhat disappointing for the gluten-free students of the high school body, the faulty water jugs were wetting table cloths and scaring children at every table. A frequent sound of ice slamming against the lovely foldable white tables filled the hall throughout the hour-long tributes. Despite the tea-soaked table clothes and cream-filled gluten traps that is bread, the main course was more than extremely pleasant. The juniors did an excellent job of providing a whole small half cup of rice and some “bussin' chicken” (Luis Vieira 12). Despite the somewhat small portion, the food was definitely a win in the junior's books, as was the self-motivated catering that led to juniors eagerly nagging and waiting for seniors (and whoever else was there) to finish their food. Some juniors even took the initiative of leaning over the table whilst seniors were still eating just so that they’d be ready to dump what was left in their food bucket. 

The entertainment of the evening was sufficiently entertaining. DJ performed very strong as Charlie, and Dominic Cheang was roasted a whole two times, so the evening was definitely a success. Good job juniors for not giving the entire high school food poisoning and making my feet hurt for 4 hours of tribute listening. 5/5 stars.
