Junior-Senior Banquet
By Matthew Sujanto
E ach year, the Junior class holds the Junior-Senior Banquet to honor our graduating seniors. Students from 10th-12th grade are invited to attend the party. This year, the Juniors held the Hollywood-themed event at S2 Semarang. From playing charades to swing dancing on the red carpet, the ballroom was filled with fun and laughter. The excitement was in the air as this banquet will the last one for our seniors. Here are some insight stories that happened in this year’ s banquet.
While the adults and teachers sat together, Tristan sat there clueless and complained to his little sister, Cosette, about why she chose the table where they sat. In the meantime, Mrs. Maclean, still hungry, went over to other tables to grab more food while keeping the table interested with her hilarious conversation.
The Juniors was busy with the task of handling the banquet, whether it was by counting up votes for the banquet awards or by being the MC of the event. It got to the point where they got so distracted by their duty that they forgot to eat.
There is never a dull moment when you are sitting with Mr. Fosdhal. Early into the banquet when the games started, Mr. Fosdhal tried to hide from Joey, who was picking people to play charades, by pretending to tie his shoe for about 5 minutes and moving his head under the table so that no one would see him. His plan worked, but Mrs. Fosdhal was chosen instead. Then he tried to show the younger students how to eat soup properly, but it backfired as the soup spilled all over him.
Despite only having 6 people, this table had as much fun and laughter as most others. It was led by Hannah and Mahak, who pretended to have mustaches by placing carrots on top of their lips, which Mahak thought to be cute.
Occupied mostly by teachers, this table was far more intriguing than it seemed, as Mr. Collin led an interesting talk about his TV programs and later during the games, Allan performed what could be the highlight of the banquet, where he picked up a glass and raised it up like in Lion King.
With the lights of Hollywood shining on the red carpet and the table occupied by many girls, this table was supposed to be every man’ s dream for Kai and Moses, but it didn’ t seem like it as awkward silences overcame all of them.
Even though this table had arguably the most senior members, not a lot of conversation happened. Later, the silence was broken by a loud cheer as the food made its way to the table, proving that food can always bring happiness.
