SchoolSarah October 12, 2001 as told by Sarah. Today was Class Spirit Day at Princeton High School. Being a senior, and the class president no less, I was particularly excited about the anticipated pep rally. Claire decided last night that we should get to school incredibly early, 7:15 AM even, so that we could see what our classmates had done for the senior prank, since we had nothing to do with it. Yet, at 7:10, when she was already 5 minutes late, Claire had still not arrived to pick me up ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120141 as I tried, but failed miserably, to document. ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120142 Finally Claire showed up ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120143 and we drove down Nassau Street, under a foggy air and a cloud-streaked sky ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120144 so that we could get to Joyce's house where Joyce was waiting eagerly. ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120145 We got to the school a little later than expected, but didn't realize that parking would be a problem since the Old Senior Lot was still blocked off from the painting. We usually like to arrive inconspicuously to give Claire a chance to park her massive Impala or in other words, a type of African Gazelle or Antelope depending on whom you believe... To our great chagrin, the Senior Girls who had purchased "Senior Girls '02" t-shirts were already congregated, all, of course, wearing their aforementioned shirts. Claire, Joyce, and I had chosen not to participate for reasons better off left unmentioned. ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120146 We did take this opportunity to dress ourselves up in green and gold ribbon and gold glitter like the rest of the crowd. ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120147 Even though they had already cleaned up the Senior Prank, we ran over to the front of the school to observe the genius of Andrew Hood. ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120148 ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120149 The painting of the Old Senior Lot turned out pretty well (in case you can't tell, it's a picture of the yellow brick road to the Emerald City - our colors are green and gold, if you hadn't realized yet) ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120150 and if you look closely enough you can see the nearly-fatal risk I took in expressing my creativity.

While waiting for Jess's mom at the back of the school, I decided to take some pictures of the lovely foliage ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120151 ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120152 and an attempt to capture the secret clock on the roof which no one else seems to believe is really a clock. ../../../Sabbat/10.07-12.01CivicsHomecoming//PA120153
