Seniors imprinting their handprint
On March 4th, seniors gathered during advisory and lunch at the senior courts to leave their impression on our school. Led by the Associated Student Body, seniors had the chance to have their hands painted and plaster their handprints onto a large sheet of paper, and have their signatures written and filmed on a clear board. Anthony Moran, ASB Leadership Adviser, hosted this event with the help of ASB members.
Starting in advisory, teachers who mainly have seniors in their class went down to the senior courts by the St. George exit gate. There was a long wait time for both handprints and the sign- offs. Sign-offs are when a camera is behind a clear film, and that film is written by a marker. When finished with either activity, seniors had a free period for the remainder of the advisory.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Michael Goi, ASB member, about what he thought of the event:
Q. Is the paper we imprinted our handprints on, archived after this year ends? Where is it displayed?
Goi: I believe the ASB Senior Class President is saving the handprints and most likely brings it during reunions, but I am not sure, I would check with the Leadership teacher or Senior Class President.
Q. What is, if there are any, the symbolism behind our handprints?
Goi: It’s something to remember your senior year by.
Q. Were there any issues regarding the paper size during the planning process?
Goi: Like any project, there are always discussions between senior class representatives on how large and what the senior handprint should look, but we all came to a general consensus and that is what we rolled with.
