Brookside High Prom Bulletin

Welcome to Brookside High's official blog!

This is THE place to experience student life at our school. Because this isn't just a place for me to express MY point of view - Brookside students and faculty also get a chance to post Tweets, texts and videos of their own.

Think of it as our school's living yearbook. Don't forget to subscribe! This is one club you're going to want to be a part of.

IS IT OKAY TO DATE YOUR FRIEND'S EX?

"No, definitely not! I did that once and it caused nothing but trouble. Sure it was fun for a while, going to the movies and mall and stuff, but when my friend found out I was hanging out with his ex, he went ballistic! Dude, it's no fun to pick up after a TP raid. Just try explaining that to your parents."
- Don Harvey, Senior

"Life is too short to worry about what your friends thing. Maybe that's why I don't have many."
- Mason Patel, Junior

"The heart wants what the heart wants."
- Erin Underwood, Senior

The best part of planning Prom is knowing that everyone will get to see all the hard work come together! There’s still a lot to do, but I know it’s going to be amazing.

The committee is working so hard – I want to take a moment right now to thank you guys. Ali, thank you for your constant flow of ideas. Mei, thanks for having such great taste. Brandon, thanks for always knowing the most practical way to put the ideas together And Rolo, thanks for . . . um . . . well, just being you.

So get excited, guys – I can’t wait for you to see what we have planned!

Except for that rumor about the elephant – that’s not true. Sorry.

What do you think Brookside High will be like in ten years?

“I’m excited to find out. I’m already looking forward to the ten-year reunion. Which is good, because I guess I’ll be planning that, too.”
- Nova Prescott

“If the people who spilled out of the reunion last week are any indication - fatter.”
- Jesse Richter

“The stuff I know about this place, I’ll be surprised if it’s still standing in ten years. But probably, more computers.”
- Ali Gomez

“It’s been around for like a hundred, right? So, like, ten percent different?”
- Rolo

It’s important to take the time and get to know your school.

I don’t mean that in the “This is the best school ever!!!!!” type way, either.

Let me give you an example:

Next time you’re in science class, look in the back of the room. There’s a door. When no one’s looking - go in that door. That door leads to someplace amazing. It’s some kind of shared storeroom for all of the science classes.

It’s gonna smell weird. Push past the smell.

You’ll see crazy models, skeletons, telescopes. Probably some weird old steampunkish projectors.

You never knew this stuff was back there, did you? Get to know your school.

We know we’re at the top. Why? Because we have things named after us.

Senior Lunch. Senior Parking. Senioritis. Senior Skip Day. No one names things after Juniors, right?

Why else are we on top? Because if you want a ticket to the biggest event of the year, you better make friends with a Senior.

I’m not saying me, ladies. I’m just saying.

Dear Pizza,



Let’s face it. You’re not fooling anyone. You call yourself pizza and we all pretend to go along the charade. But we know you’re not pizza. You know you’re not pizza. The lunch ladies? Not sure. They’re a hard bunch to read. There’s a small part of me that gets fooled every time . . . like, this is the day. The day that they get you right. They don’t. They never do. It’s not your fault. They made you this way. But you want to know a secret? Something I would never tell anyone? I love you the way you are. I don’t act like it around my friends, but you should know. 


Love,
Tess

Now I’m going to come up with five ideas for you guys to ask that special lady to Prom.
Number one: Skywriting. Classic. I know that previously we talked about not asking your lady in public and the sky is in public, but if you are in a backyard, it won’t feel like it.

Number two: Beach. Write your message on the sand and then walk the lady down to the place where she’ll see it. Make sure the ocean doesn’t wash it away before, though. Maybe you don’t have a beach – but know that rivers do not have the same effect.

Number three: Take a car ride to a romantic spot. Maybe an apple tree. Go pick one of those apples and it says “Will you go with me to Prom?” on it. Maybe a rainbow will come in handy.

Number four: Put flowers in her locker. Like a TON. Flower explosion.

Number five: Make a treasure map. Every lady likes some kind of gift. And also, surprise. Bonus - it makes you feel like a pirate, which is fun.

These are just five tips. What are some of yours? Use the internet to tell me.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my four year run at Brookside High, it’s that everyone will root for the football team no matter how bad they are.

Looking back, I really should have learned more than that. Thanks, Brookside.

WHAT MAKES A SUCCESSFUL STUDY DATE?

“Study dates? For success? Body spray. Her mind will be thinking about Ethan Frome, But her nose? Thinking about you.”
- Max King, senior

“Study dates are for studying. At least that’s what my mom told me.”
- Chelsea McCoy, freshman

“I am the queen of study dates. Start off in a group. Lay the groundwork, and then split off into partners to do more in-depth study. Never fails.”
- Michele Murray, junior

“What? Study dates? Are those real things that happen?”
- Steven Jones, junior

I can already tell this week is going to be crazy.

After a break, the teachers are always ready to work, which isn’t exactly ideal . . . I was kind of hoping this week’s work would slide by, because this week Prom committee is really getting into gear. We have big plans here at Brookside High.

Instead of hiring some stranger to do stuff, we’re turning to the students to make this Prom our Prom – from the posters to the decorations to the photos to the food, Brookside students will have their hands all over this Prom!

Wait, that sounded gross. They’re definitely going to wash their hands first.

Okay, first full week in – what do you guys think about the Brookside page so far?

Shoot Ali a tweet @promdirtalert and tag it #prom

We have a lot more ideas that we want to do, but I want to get some of your great ideas! What do you want to see?

Please don’t answer that last question with creeps, internet.

Make-up Yearbook Photos will take place Tuesday in the library. Pimples, weird smiles, braces, old haircuts and “thinking about something else” do not qualify as valid reasons for make-up photographs.
