Assumption College prides itself on the strong sense of community it promotes amongst the student body. This allows for the success of numerous community orientated activities on campus, particularly events held for graduating seniors. On February 11th, the class of 2005 celebrated their last year at Assumption with their annual 100 Days Party at Maxwell Silverman's Restaurant. Afterwards, nearly all the seniors agreed the party was a great way to bring the class together and have a great time. This led to great anticipation for the upcoming 50 Days Party on April 1st. Unfortunately, the Monday morning following the 100 Days event, each member of the senior class received an e-mail which brought the excitement to a screeching halt: the 50 Days Party was in danger of being cancelled.
Amidst the fun and excitement of the 100 Days Party, it seemed a few individuals had gotten carried away. The bus company, employed by the school to transport the seniors to and from the restaurant, reported excessive damage to one of their buses.
In his e-mail to the senior class Director of Student Activities Joe Golia explained, "a mirror was torn off the bus wall and broken, also a few students vomited on one of the buses. Your class is being charged by the bus company for the damage to the mirror as well as an excessive cleaning fee for the vomit."
Rumors quickly began to circulate that the administration chose to cancel the 50 Days party, which not surprisingly, resulted in an extremely discontent senior class. However, such rumors about the cancellation have proved false.
Students felt a bigger deal was being made then need be.
"I think it is stupid," said Senior Frankie Ambrogio. "I think that our behavior, in general, was good and what happened was understandable. I mean vandalizing the bus is a bad thing, but puke should not be punished."
Luckily, the students do not have to seek alternative plans. Those personally accountable for the damage done to the buses on the night of the 100 Days Party came forward and accepted responsibility for their actions. Thanks to their honesty, the administration announced the 50 Days Party will proceed as scheduled.
Many seniors were delighted to hear the rumors of the cancellation were false. Erin Ahearn, member of the senior class as well as President of the Student Government Association, said: "The 100 Days Party was a huge success and it was a great way to celebrate with our class. I am sure none of the seniors would have been content with not having a 50 Days party so I am happy to see that someone confessed to the vandalism."
Most seniors share Erin's sentiments and are excited to still be able to celebrate their 50 Days Party on April 1st at Maxwell Silverman's Restaurant.
