Reflection+on+Stokes

Everyone will remember at least one thing from stokes. For me I will always remember the pranks. The girls had meetings about this one prank, but in all honesty, Mr. Hazen was the one to think it up. What he came up with was to have the boys help collect pinecones for a fake lab that he was going to do with his students. Then when we all headed off to the square dance, Mrs. Gottshalk and Miss Schechter snuck into the boys bunk and put the pinecones in every single sleeping-bag. It was so funny when the boys found them, and we all chanted “GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS!” The boys decided to pull a revenge prank on us. These tricky boys decided to keep us up all night worrying about them knocking on the windows, so us girls stayed up till mid-night getting ready. Then we decided that we would go to sleep. Meanwhile, when us girls were sleeping, Miss Schechter stayed up until two in the morning waiting for the boys to come. As soon as the first crack of dawn fell upon njsoc, Mr. Notte came in with pots and pans screaming that there was a bear. There was no bear, he just wasted an hour of our sleep. Then five minutes later he did it again, but brought all the boys with him. Man, I wanted to throw a pillow at him and his crew. Us girls wanted revenge, but the prank war was over. Yet, it was a clear win for the girls.
