Juniors celebrate their dodgeball victory over the seniors. With first place in the game, juniors brought their total number of Spirit Week points to 40, tying with the seniors for the most points. “I think we won because we all had great teamwork,” theatre junior Christopher Hesse said. “We all were really dedicated to the cause, and we know that this is going to be the year that the juniors beat the seniors, and so we were all so devout to that one cause that we just went bananas.”
