Senior and Sophomore Bonding

By Sammy Jung

Last Friday the Seniors set up a party to bond with the sophomores at the Dalat campus. The senior ExCom came up with this idea in order for seniors and sophomores to bond and also get to know each other as well. The party consisted of dodgeball, color wars, and many more activities and fun. This was truly a night to remember and for both classes and with that came the opportunity to get to know each other better as well.

They played knockout and charades first where the classes were able to bond through competing but also working together as a team. 

After knockout and charades, the two classes went into the main gym and played dodgeball. They played free for all dodgeball first where it was every man for themselves, but there were alliances that consisted of three groups which were the senior boys, sophomore boys, and girls. The entire gym was chaotic and loud with students running around and throwing dodgeballs at each other. After the free for all dodgeball the two classes played normal dodgeball with just two teams going against each other. First it was the seniors against the sophomores where the game ended in a draw. Then it went onto girls against the boys where the boys won. Finally, the last game was against two teams that were mixed, consisting of both classes. The game had to include a doctor and a general where the doctor was able to revive the players while if the general got out it meant that the team immediately lost. 

After dodgeball the students went out to enjoy ice cream and drinks. There the students were able to bond with each other through talking and mingling with each other. 

Finally, the last part of the night was the most chaotic and fun, as Drew Worten said: “It was a fun time bonding with the sophomores by throwing color at their faces.” At first the sophomores were forced to sit in a circle and the seniors surrounded them and threw colors at them which gave the seniors a head start, but after that the entire place was chaotic with students just throwing colors at each other no matter what class they were in. This caused students from both classes to look like clowns and jesters. 

All in all, the sophomore and senior party was an unforgettable night with many students from both classes bonding together while also having a lot of fun and excitement. Through this event students from both the senior and sophomore class were able to bond and get to know each other better. This event was a true blessing for both classes and students from both classes hope to this again one day.
