It all began when the junior girls arrived on campus the first day of school to find their lockers decorated with signs, streamers, and balloons. Junior Melisse Campbell commented, I was so surprised. It was really sweet for them to think of us. The anonymous thoughtful gifts continued throughout first semester in the form of flowers and buttons until Big Sis-Lil Sis invitations arrived attached to blue helium balloons, November 20. That same night, the senior girls spent hours of preparation finishing up posters and practicing their skit. Jenny Bell said, It was a lot of fun to do, but a lot of hard work. The next day finally came, along with much anxiety from all the junior and senior girls. Susan Landreneau was caught saying many times during the day, I wonder if my Lil Sisses will be excited when they find out who I am? The school was decorated with posters, and what seemed the longest day yet to the junior girls was thought to never end. One could walk through the hallways and hear the junior girls saying over and over again, I can't wait to sec who my Big Sis is! Finally 3:15 rolled around. The junior girls congregated in the chapel for the skit. It was the actual beginning of what they had waited for for so long. Junior Lisa Allen said, I was so excited I couldn't sit still. The seniors were dressed in their Blue Hawaiian attire and sang revisions of songs like 'True Love and Message-In-A-Bottle. After the skit all the girls moved to the main courtyard. The junior girls were blindfolded and lined up in a straight line. Then when each girl heard her name called, she stepped forward and found out who her Big Sis was. Allison Jones said, One minute I was talking to a friend and the next minute someone grabbed me and blindfolded me. It was totally unexpected. At this moment there were many screams and embraces shared. Following the ceremony there was a reception in the library. Party Pics attended to take pictures, then, at 6:30 there was an Hawaiian Chicken dinner served in honor of the junior girls. After the dinner the girls split up into their groups and went out for the evening. Many new friends were made that night, making Big Sis-Lil Sis a truly successful event. Susannah Rolfs commented, It was fun. We all had a great time.
