[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The senior class poem and the "disruption" of the last meeting before break are both traditions at sidwell. At the last meeting before break one senior leaves the room. Another senior stands up and starts telling a story. The story ends with the student saying something about keys, at which point the senior class starts jingling their keys and singing jingle bells. The student who left at the beginning of meeting returns dressed as Santa and starts throwing candy at everyone. The rest of the seniors join in. This happens at the last meeting before break every year.  As for the senior poem, it is usually read during the holiday concert and can be a bit mean. No hard copy is distributed. The administration always okays the poem before it is read. This year they canceled the poem reading so it was distributed as a hard copy instead of being read at the concerrt. [/quote]

NP here.  An "ugly, misogynistic, cruel" class poem, as OP said, or at least one that "can be a bit mean" is a tradition?  That seems like an odd tradition for a Quaker school.[/quote]
