Page 17 - PINE CREST 2015

Equipped with Mrs. Metzger’s Schoology updates, Mary Ellen's

heavenly student store cookies, and the “warm" welcome of the

year’s first assembly, Pine Crest’s newest batch of freshmen
was ready to take on whatever Upper School had to offer...

or so they thought. Freshman year was full of highs (Jake

Shapiro in the Powderpuff dance) and lows (everyone else

in the Powderpuff dance), but the most important thing is that
they survived all of the withering glares of the yellow-jerseyed,

black llpsticked seniors. Even before Orientation Day

designed to scare and intrigue them, the Freshman class

already strengthened Boca-Fort Lauderdale friendships,

which helped provide assurance that, yes, Pine Crest is a
little bit crazy on both campuses. Even though freshman

is usually a derogatory term, this year’s class seemed to

carry the title pretty well. While our team spirit really could
use some work (fourth place for the Spirit Stick? Really,

guys? Really?), the Class of 2018 is able to say that

it survived the first year of “the best four years of their

lives."
