Registration and Rivalries

Today and yesterday, I worked at the Interact booth during high school registration. For those that live under a rock, Interact is the Rotary-funded community service organization for high-schoolers that organizes crazy-cool events such as the annual "Battle of the Bands". Other organizations that had a booth at registration include StuCo (Student Council) and TSA (Technology Students Association?)

Historically, Interact and StuCo have a little unofficial "rivalry" that really has no ground and is quite petty. It's probably based on the fact that Interact has attracted mainly band people, and StuCo appeals to mainly choir/theater people. I still have yet to figure out why it's so segregated. Anyway, this year, one of my goals or "bucket list items" is to bridge the gap between the two organizations. And thus, we are having an event the first Wednesday of school called Fish Floats, in which freshmen and upperclassmen that bring freshmen receive free floats of assorted flavors, and listen to a schpiel about Interact and StuCo. Product placement, yeah!

Anyway, sitting behind a table for more than four hours gets boring. So we shot pencils at some balloons that StuCo had with a pencils launched from one of TSA's toys. Here's a video:

And here's a picture of me with the Frankenstein cut-out that my dear friend brought to spice up the Interact and TSA booths:
