Sydney Mann: Okay seniors, none of you have handed in anything for the yearbook, and that’s due this Friday so please get those in. On a separate note: Diminuendo, if you want to apply for leadership next year please see me, Esther, Zoe, Mr. Scerra, or Mr. Lal. On a similar note, diminuendo has a rehearsal on Tuesday at 6. On the same note, morning meeting is in the hands of Diminuendo:

Diminuendo performs the current #1 song on lite.fm

Mr. Austin: Takes glasses on and off repeatedly. Well that was a rousing performance. Here’s Hannah.

Hannah Zack: On behalf of School Council I would like to thank you all for coming out to support your school this weekend. There are a lot of fun activities coming up later this semester so get excited. Freshmen are dismissed.

The senior class is outraged at their not being dismissed first and starts a fire. As a result, morning meetings are cancelled forever.
