Seniors scuttle and tug their way to wins

Jolie Krooks (’09)/ Eastside Special Editions Editor • November 20, 2007

With horns blaring and egos soaring, seniors left East’s parking lot after tonight’s triumph in both crab soccer and tug-of-war. The night began with crab soccer; the classes formed a square around half of the DiBart gym, with the seniors facing the sophomores and juniors facing the freshmen. Each person was given a number and would enter the square when his or her number was called. When a class received three outs, it was eliminated.

One girl and one boy representative from each grade was seated on a platform, where the girls squeezed milk out of pink and blue bottles into the mouths of their male counterparts. The catch: the boys, who were seated on the girls’ laps, could not touch the bottle. The first team to empty the bottle won the most points for their class.

With water pouring out of their mouths, and in some cases their noses, students weren’t too worried about messing up their fathers' ties on Non-Casual Friday. “This game is called ‘Make Lemonade,’” announced Mr. Davis. “But we’re not going to make lemonade in any style you’ve ever seen before.” The competition consisted of four contestants, one from each grade level, competing to “make lemonade” in the fastest time possible. Contestants had to eat two lemon wedges, wolf down two spoonfuls of sugar, gulp down two cups of water and mix it all up with five jumping jacks.
