With the beginning of rehearsals for The Prom<\/em>, a show about a prom, many are reliving their own junior year prom experiences. However, underclassmen don\u2019t feel the same way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was having such a hard time relating to my character,\u201d freshman Myah Pettiford reported. \u201cI mean, how can I play a junior in high school if I\u2019m only a freshman?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many others echoed this sentiment. Freshmen and sophomores simply cannot grasp the struggles of junior year. Several have decided to practice method acting to understand their characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m reading The Warmth of Other Suns<\/em> to really connect with my character,\u201d sophomore Rozir Kirkland said. \u201cI really think that my character would be taking APUSH.\u201d He then returned to his reading, eager to find out what would happen to Ida Mae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI got a 100 on the PSAT,\u201d freshman Matthew Centollela bragged, trying to fit in with a group of juniors. \u201cThat\u2019s, like, a perfect score, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other underclassmen have taken similar actions. Some popular methods of relating to their junior characters are talking about synthesis essays, weighing the pros and cons of taking the SAT over the ACT, complaining about \u201cthe chem test,\u201d and being stressed. Shockingly, this has had positive effects on their performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll of the underclassmen are so in character,\u201d Kelsie Deyo, the musical\u2019s director, gushed. \u201cI only wish they would spend more time practicing their choreography instead of trying to do precalculus homework.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, not everyone is pleased with the underclassman actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had, like, five freshmen in my English 11 class yesterday,\u201d English teacher Ms. Creamer complained. \u201cEveryone knows that freshmen are too young to grasp the complexities of 11th grade level English!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA bunch of sophomores took my chemistry quiz yesterday. They\u2019re not even in the class!\u201d Ms. Boettger ranted while simultaneously grading four tests and writing a quiz on molarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the library has reported an unprecedented number of students checking out AP English Language and Composition\u2019s textbook, The Language of Composition<\/em>. Ms. Panek declined our request for a comment as she was too busy ordering more copies of They Say, I Say<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tried to interview juniors about these recent developments, but they all seemed to be too busy trying to reteach themselves geometry for the SAT to answer our questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news, seniors in the musical have made no attempts to connect with their characters. \u201cI already did junior year. Why on earth would I do it again?\u201d senior Nicki Meskos stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
