Every year since, 2005 seniors have been bid on by their peers and teachers to perform tasks like carrying school books for a day or dressing like a grandma or cowboy in order to raise funds for senior activities such as prom. This years’ Senior Auction is was April 5.

“Senior Auction is an auction, where people purchase the right to make someone do something silly or dress up in a silly way and it is all done on [Fulfillment Day],” senior class sponsor Amanda Moreno said.

Both faculty and students help set up Senior Auction in the weeks before the big day.

“It just starts with a sign up sheet that will come out like a week before, taking [senior] volunteers,” Moreno said. “Then we just advertise for it and people come out, and we tell people that are volunteering to get their friends and family to come out and buy them.”

Auction also is rather successful for raising funds. “Last year [we] roughly made over $1000,” Moreno said.

The Senior Auction continues every year as tradition and it is both enjoyable for both students and staff.

This event is another opportunity for the staff and student body to interact with each other outside of the classroom.

As English IV teacher Alicia Vedder explains, “It’s a lot of fun and the students get to show off and have a good time and that kind of thing,” Vedder said.

Vedder describes her buying decisions as trying to buy seniors in her classes that may have been “troublemakers” during the year. If they are willing to put themselves up for auction than Vedder tries buying them. Buying seniors is not only a way to help the senior class financially, but as Vedder puts it: “I buy seniors to make them do silly things and show their school spirit and pride,” As for the “troublemakers”, Vedder said “it just makes payback day a fun day”.

Not only are the buyers excited to buy some of the senior classmen, the seniors on sale are also excited to be on sale. Senior Roy Tipton is delighted for the event.

“I’m really excited for it and I hope it’ll be lots of fun for me,” Tipton said.

Seniors are not only happy to support their class but also look forwards to having a crazy day on Fulfilment Day.

Typically Fulfilment Day is filled with fun but odd request that many seniors comply with. As odd as the requests may be, Tipton plans to be a good sport, “as long as the school lets me do it, I’m going to do it.”
