Senior Buddy Auction

Santa Paula High School's annual Senior Buddy Auction took place this week and the results could be seen throughout the school Friday. At lunch the "buddies" headed towards the flagpole and the colorful gathering was described by a student watching the event as "funny, funny, hilarious" and another as "rather disturbing." One student best described it as, "Sometimes it was funny, sometimes it went over the line, but it was funny in a weird sort of way." Once they had assembled, the group marched across to the courtyard in a "Parade of the Weird" and then strolled around the campus generating odd looks from passing students and staff.

The event was orchestrated by Ms. Lamb, the Senior Class adviser. About 40 brave Seniors were auction off, and according to Ms. Lamb, they were enthusiastic participants. Ten teachers were also auctioned off, including Ms. Lamb and Ms. Gorman, pictured to the right. The auction was a great success, bringing in over $1,000 for the Senior Prom and other Senior graduation activities.

Special mention needs to be made of the two students to the left. They managed to stand out in the weird category amongst many strong contenders. Their identities have been concealed to protect their future professional or political careers, but they will be responsible for many nightmares for months to come.
