During a game of ‘Dragons Tail’, Tor Utoksiri and
David Kim wrestle with Ziho
Hwang, Paul Lee, Samuel Lee, and
Andy Lee. The goal of this game was to
capture the flag from the “tail” of the
dragon, who is the last student standing
in the line. Mrs. Yuan and
Ms. Lyons homeroom won
the game twice.

Princesses, K-pop stars, and senior citizen
Avengers strutted the auditorium walkway in
a fresh and hilarious fashion show. Dressed for

their respective themes, students and Frontline, had undergone significant preparation for this priceless event.
“It is going to be a blast,” senior and Frontline member Victor Jeong remarked.
To prepare for the show, students underwent ample preparation. One homeroom used cardboard, paper, glue, capes, and clothes for their costumes. Senior
Heather Yang said, “We didn’t waste time. We rehearsed
at least three times.”
Frontline also prepared avidly for this fashion show.
“We brainstormed what might be entertaining or easy
to do. We wanted the event to retain the charm of the
videos. So we came up with popular themes,

such as princesses or viral videos--people
love references to pop culture.”

During the first day of SEW, Sojin Han and Stephanie Kim participate in the gym
activities to earn points for their team. They tried to pop one another’s balloon
which is tied around their ankle. The last student remaining earned points for their
team. All students participated in the rotation activities which included outdoor
games and gym activity.

But it turns out that the fashion show wasn’t completely new for GSIS. “We had done [it] a couple years
ago. And it was similar in that you were given a theme.
But back then you had to dress your teacher up and
send them out on the runway. This year we wanted to
make it more interactive, so we had everyone participate in the fashion show.”
Frontline Advisor Mr. Lozano added, “Kids had gotten
kind of sick of videos. So we decided to bring back something different. And we knew a fashion show would
work.”
And the results were great. Victor mentioned, “We
don’t even have to tell them what to do and people always do something ridiculous and funny.”
He continued, “We get to see how creative

these people can get in embarrassing themselves walking down this stage. They’ll be
able to look back and say, ‘Man, what were
we thinking?’”
