God, grad night is insane. Everyone is in this ecstasy of having just graduated and being done with high school forever. People have been sitting around all day doing everything from rehearsals to the actual ceremony. Theres a lot of sitting, daydreaming, and boredom that comes free of charge to any attendees. Yet, the school tries to counter this with their annual graduation night party. The costly and secretive evening of events takes bus loads of ex-seniors around Portland to various events for entertainment, etc.

For the Class of 2006 (better known to some as Class o Sic), he took a long, and somewhat confusing trip through Beaverton, Aloha, and finally through Hillsboro until we came to this Bowling/fun center. I know that a lot of people werent all that happy that we were at a bowling center instead of a place like Oaks Park, but Im pretty sure that most people really enjoyed themselves. Besides bowling, you could play in the arcade with an unlimited amount of coins, do sumo, dance, gamble, etc. They even had hypnotist come in a perform in front of the whole class, which surprisingly turned out to be quite entertaining. You see, he pulls up a bunch of people and makes them fall asleep. Some of them never quite get hypnotized and have to be sent back into the crowd, but the ones that do are made to do a bunch of embarrassing things (i.e. becoming a male stripperthat doesnt remove any article of clothing below the waste). It was amazing at what the people up there did.

Oh, and did I mention that MOB MENTALITY REAL? The class was split up into five buses, in which one of the buses happened to be all of the jocks and whatnot. Just like when the play world cup during P.E. or in some other moment of free time, they began to function with a mob mentality. This was observed repeatedly when the Mt. Jefferson bus rocked back and forth repeatedly until the wheels popped off the floor (lets just say that they were trying to roll over the bus). The guys in the back of my bus thoroughly enjoyed this entertainment. Granted we dislike many of the people on the Mt. Jefferson bus, not to mention they threw strawberries at our bus, we would have loved to have seen their bus roll over.

All in all, I have to say that I loved grad night and would most defiantly go again. Class of 2007, anyone?
