Page 136 - Carrollton 1994

Aluminum-plastered walls, flashing strobe
lights, hanging stars and planets, and hundreds o f
Carrollton students filled the school on Conge.
Conge is a day the seniors plan for the entire
school. It is a day filled with exciting activities that
all students participate and helps Carrollton grow
in spirit and community.
This year's theme was 'Tim e Warp." It gave new
meaning to flashing back to the past.
Students were divided into 25 groups, each with
a different theme. Groups included Egyptians, cow
boys, the 70’s, 80's, and 90's. There were also
groups o f punks, pirates, witches and wizards, and
dinosaurs. Each group was dressed in costumes
that corresponded with the theme o f their group.
The day was opened up with a skit by the
seniors about a girl who takes her "genius" father's
(Carmen Kroepil) time machine and with coaxing
from her friends, goes through the stages o f time.
She meets up with Madonna, cavemen, Barney,
southern belief, among others from the past. The
skit also included a dance done by five seniors:
Kiki Canto, Yvette Garcia-Alien, Dulce Hernandez,
Patty Pujals, and Sylvia de la Rua.
After the skit, the groups participated in skit
writing o f their own, "Disco Inferno," "Name That
Song," "Name That Era," and a scavenger hunt. In
between activities a delicious lunch o f pizza and
soda which was followed by ice cream and candy
and, later, gouter.
By the end o f the day many, including the little
students, were tired yet still excited about the day's
events. Danielle de Marco, grade 7, who experi­
enced her first Conge had this to say, "It was an
interesting experience." Cory James, grade 9,
thought "Conge is an experience o f a lifetime."
