Friday, Oct. 28, 2011 -- Mum Day

The Juniors win their first dress-up category, with a whopping 99% of students wearing black for Mum Day.

The Freshmen win Penny War, with a total of 4,646.  Although the sophomores collected the most pennies (32,352), the total amount of nickels, dimes, and dollars brought their total to -31,123.  The juniors got second place with -14,827, and seniors were last with -32,441.  200 points were rewarded for 1st place, and 175, 150, and 100, for 2nd, 3rd, and last, respectively.

The totals for the promo videos, or trailers, were announced.  Out of 220 points, Seniors received 209, juniors with 197, sophomores with 193, and freshmen with 187.

Juniors won the poster competition, with 96.5, followed by seniors, sophomores, and freshmen, in that order.

ASB started the rally with a cowboy-themed video, followed by a small skit, finally releasing everyone's voices.

As the John Swett cowboys leave the scene, Ming Chung takes Krissy Segismundo by surprise and asks her to homecoming.

Rally squad killed the opening performance with their own personalized shirts and socks, with little error.  As a token of appreciation, the varsity football team appeared with white roses.

As an additional surprise, "loved ones" of certain senior football players gave red roses to girls of their choosing.  My personal favorite was Brandon Villiados giving his red rose to his mother.  Also, Ming gave Krissy his rose, then took it back.  What a douche.

Games followed directly after a quick spirit check, including tug-o-war and two coaches from each sport competing against each other.

Moderators from each class came down to the floor to participate in a game of musical chairs.  Contestants included Mr. Fernandez, Mr. Rodriguez, Mr. Hannon, Mr. Henriquez, Mr. Wilder, Mr. Zegura, Mr. Shelley, and Ms. Teekell.  Representing the seniors, Ms. Teekell won, urging the seniors to run up and surround her, which caused a mini mosh pit.

The faculty & staff took over the show with a Paranormal Activity-themed video shown on the projector, starring Ms. McGowan and Mr. Shelley, and featuring teachers such as Mr. Rangchi, Ms. Dwyer, Ms. Patterson, Shawna Martin, and Nico Mendiola. Mr. Lee and Ms. Lek reveal through videochat that Zombies have infiltrated Moreau.

A group of Zombie faculty members emerge from the lobby, led by Ms. Kleczek, reinforcing the rules of being a zombie.  Mr. Irons forgets to bring pancakes.

Allies to the Zombie army include musical performances: (with the words of songs changed to fit the theme) It's Tricky (The Theology Boys -- Mr. Rodriguez, Mr. Hannon, & Mr. Fernandez), We Got The Beat (Math Girls -- Ms. Debrauwere, Ms. Medeiros, and Ms. Guidotti), and a rock performance (The Art Girls -- Ms. Thomas & Ms. Safranek/Nelson with Mr. Huddelson).

Mr. Shelley and Ms. McGowan feed the zombies pancakes and Father Moreau (Father Tito) and Brother Andre (Father Bruce) gain help of the St. Clement kids as well as Mr. Lee and Ms. Lek.

As the skit comes to a close, special guest stars Ms. Kyle and Mr. Morneau, retired Moreau veterans return and the students run from the bleachers to greet them.

The week finishes off with one final spirit check.

John Swett loses an embarrassing defeat by the Mariners at the homecoming game. The Juniors' Mariner-Man stands by, assisting the cheerleaders.

 Thanks for a great final spirit week, guys.

Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2011 -- Freshman & Senior Performances

As the Juniors met up in junior lot, two Seniors drove around them waving the Senior flag and blasting 50s songs.  Did they march?  I'm not sure.

Seniors stage a stand-in blockade to stop the marching Juniors, but since they weren't in sight, Seniors did their own march throughout the halls.

The Seniors' record arch in A-Hall collapsed, breaking in two.

Sophomores and Seniors tie for 1st place in Dress-up participation with 87% each, followed by Juniors in third place, and Freshman in last.

Seniors march in and cheer "You wish you were 1-2." But take a large amount of time and effort to get into their bleachers.

Numerous alumni present.

Spirit Check points and dance/skit performance points TBD.

Freshmen, who have gone unnoticed for a while, step up their game with a short but sweet skit in which their entire class, along with a few others recited the Mission Statement, earning them a standing ovation from the school.  With faculty members Ms. Hood and Mr. Shelley, it was really great acting.  And the cherry on top came with the surprise guest stars, the frosh football team coming from the boys locker room.

Brandon Villiados surprised Erin De Leon between performances by taking the microphone and revealing a huge sign and flowers asking her to the Homecoming Dance. She said yes.

Seniors finish the rally off with skit and dance, which from what I hear was "raw".  As a senior, I don't want to make any personal comments on it.  So whether it was good or not: it's up for you to decide!  Either way, I'm so proud of my class of 2012.

As seen by the Juniors' sign: "woah dere"

Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2011 -- Mariner Day

To everyone's surprise, the sophomores top the juniors in both skit and dance. (No offense to the sophomores.)

Although the judges were in favor of the seniors at yesterday's rally (3/4 chose seniors as the champs, and 1/4 chose sophomores), sophomores top the charts for Spirit Check #1 with 187 points, seniors following with 180, juniors with 175, and sophomores with 163.

The sophomores' sign falls in their hallway, as well as junior and senior decorations in the main stairwell. (And ASB's daily poster too?)

Seniors earn the most points for dress-up participation with 77%, whileother classes earned 45-65% participation.

By the end of the day, a mistake with Ms. Puccini's participation in the junior skit earns the Class of 2013 extra points, and thus beat the sophomores. (Points are rewarded or docked for having two faculty members in skit.)

In the words of Ms. Jana Kleczek on the point totals for skit and dance:  "Drama!"
