To make up for missing their 7th-grade Roman & Greek Field Day because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Class of 2025 decided to bring it back—with a twist. Throughout the spring, seniors competed in a series of Olympic-style games as one last fun class event before graduation. Events ranged from a Quiz Bowl to an egg-and-spoon race up and down the hill, and competition quickly got intense. Each advisory was hungry for the win, and things got so serious that at one point Mr. Grant even called out his own advisory’s poor performance in front of the entire dining hall.
With just a week of school left, the final event—Senior Field Day—had every advisory ready to give it everything they had. Between obstacle courses, races, and a dramatic game of tug-of-war (where the advisory with Ford Webb ’25 and Harrison Dewitt ’25 surprisingly lost), Mr. Speer’s advisory came out on top. “I was extremely surprised,” said senior Jack Nolan, a member of the winning advisory. “I never seriously considered that we had a chance to win.”
Although this was the first time the seniors put on a field day for themselves, it might just become a new tradition, especially with school president Grant Hanser ’26 leading the way next year.
