And Field Day Is... By Trevor Jin Layout Editor

As the tired Priory student body shuffled into the theater, a great surprise awaited them: Field Day. After the usual general announcements, Vice President Ted Tooley approached the crowd with a beaming grin, “It’s now time for what you’ve all been waiting for. Field Day. You know that we here at STUCO like to do it big, so without further ado, the Field Day theme is…” As the fiery image graced the Kevin Kline projector screen, the crowd broke out into raucous applause — Wolves vs. Helicopters. “I thought it was a fantastic idea to honor an age-old rivalry. I’d give helicopters a slight edge.” said senior Carter Gage. The image featured an airborne wolf lunging at a retreating helicopter,

with cars and debris dispersing from the explosion. When sophomore Jimmy Newell first saw the image, the only words that came to mind

were “Pure awesomeness.” However, Wolves vs. Helicopters was never meant to be. It was soon replaced by a Mario Party theme with Team Mario, Team Luigi, Team Donkey Kong, and Toad Squad. The crowd still cheered at the actual theme, but not with as much passion and desire as the chance of being a Wolf or a Helicopter.

The head of Team Luigi, Andrew Rhodes, has even expressed his sadness, “I have always imagined the end of the world coming in a giant clash between beast and machine, I would have liked to have seen this emulated in this year’s field day contest.” Latin teacher Mr. Carroll had a heartfelt message for senior Student Council: “I was deeply hurt by your deception this morning. While I approve of the Mario theme, being as I am a child of the 80’s, nevertheless I had the highest hopes for Wolves vs. Helicopters (particularly given the glorious and epic image projected on the theater screen). It is my sincere hope that a future student council will adopt Wolves vs. Helicopters as its Field Day theme.”
