At the beginning of RTI on Tuesday, this year’s senior meeting for 2016

got under way. Whether students saw the meeting as a chance to get out of RTI, as a waste of

time, or as time to catch up with friends, the meeting itself covered many important topics for

graduation. Among them were:  

• Grad Bash will be on May 26, and will be at a secret location. The venue will include a pool, pizza bar, monstrous amounts of ice cream, and some surprise entertainment.
• Community Service needs to be in to office secretary Sue Gower by May 1. At least 40 hours are required by every student to be able to make that walk at graduation.
• Speech tryouts are on May 4 with teacher Sheelagh Straub. She insists that the speeches should be no more than two or three minutes long. The two speakers who are chosen will be chosen by May 20.

After less than 45 minutes, many hours of planning and organizing were all covered in

detail before the senior class, and they were sent away.

One detail most seniors already knew from being envious last year: seniors do not have to

report to school on Tuesday, April 12, since that is testing day for everyone else. The following is

the schedule for the week we return from spring break:

• Monday
  • First day back after spring break

  • Freshman will take the PSAT and can leave school at noon
