The prefects of the class of 2016, John Kutteh, Harrison Schutt, Sutton Hewitt, Sope Adeleye, Sophia Quesada, William McBride and Will Courtney, stand with Mr. William Taylor. Next year’s prefects were announced at the academic awards ceremony on Tuesday, May 12.

1. If you were head for a day, what would you do?

“I’d have a teacher-led faculty meeting, and I’d just let them vent to me. Then I’d figure out what I needed to change. The teachers know what the students are saying,” Harrison Schutt said.

“I would toilet-paper Mrs. McMullen’s room,” Sophia Quesada said.

“I would have everyone come to school, but not actually have class. Everyone would go out to the beach at the Wolf River and hang out for a day and just chill and enjoy our natural space on campus,” Sope Adeleye said.

 

2.  The mascot’s costume has been stolen, and you’ve been tasked with making a new one. What would it look like?

“I’d take actual feathers from actual birds. It’d be super authentic,” Sophia Quesada said.

“I’d make it more old fashioned than the other one because I think it’d be cooler than the newer interpretation, so something more like Harry Potter,” Will Courtney said.

“A gryphon. It’s a great mascot. I love it,” John Kutteh said.

 

3. In your perfect world, what color would the sky be?

“Blue, like a normal sky, or like sunsets; they’re nice. So, like a nice tangerine but not all the time or a midnight blue…or black, black, black,” Sutton Hewitt said.

“Green,” Will Courtney said.

“Blue. Definitely blue. I mean what are you gonna say ‘Clear green skies’ no you say ‘Clear blue skies,’” John Kutteh said.

 

4. If you see a man on the side of the road who doesn’t need help, would you give it to him?

“He didn’t need help? No. I’d call the cops on that,” Sophia Quesada said.

“If his leg fell off, I’m gonna help him, but I might need to go somewhere, so if he just dropped his pencil, I’m gonna go ‘sorry guy,'” Harrison Schutt said.

“No,” John Kutteh said.

 

5. The new sport, underwater basket weaving, has come to America. What are the rules of this sport?

“You can’t breathe for 30 minutes. That’s all you’ve got. 30 minutes and one breath. You’re also trying to kill the other person with swords and spears. You’ll be working on your basket and also be watching the guy next to you to make sure he’s not trying to kill you,” Harrison Schutt said.

“1. Your oxygen tank can’t be longer than 3 ½ feet. 2. You can’t steal anyone’s oxygen tank. 3. The first team that brings everyone to the surface of the water loses,” Sope Adeleye said.

“1. No resurfacing until your basket is complete. Otherwise, you’re disqualified. 2. You have to include three sea creatures in your basket. So, you have to attach them to your basket as your weaving. 3. It has to be bigger than a bread basket. 4. You can’t use your hands – you can only use your feet,” Sutton Hewitt said.

 

6. Pirates have attacked the ski lodge and we need a new venue for Homecoming. Where would we go?

“Bass Pro Pyramid,” William McBride said.

“We’d go to the FedEx forum, and we’d get Justin Timberlake to play for us,” Will Courtney said.

“I liked the Bridge Builder place for Prom, but I wouldn’t go there. I would go underneath the football field. We’d just dig a massive cave underneath the football field and we’d just head down there and have a nice little dance party,” Harrison Schutt said.

 

7. If 2+2=8, what is the diameter of Jupiter?

“42 because it’s the answer to the universe,” Sope Adeleye said.

“8 something,” William McBride said.

“21,400 meters squared,” Sutton Hewitt said.
