On January 24th, members of the Creative Writing Workshop presented poems about one another to the Morning Meeting audience. How closely did you listen? Whoever scores the highest on this quiz will receive a dazzling prize (described below). Please post your answers in the comment section below and “like” us on Facebook:
- Which member of the class was described as looking like Clark Kent? (Hint: Like Kent, he works for a newspaper.)
- Who was said to have wobbly knees during Morning Meeting announcements?
- Which class member is a fan of Cory Montieth?
- Whose name was almost rhymed with another word before the mic was snatched?
- Whose eyes were compared to pearls?
- Which class member was compared to a red hot fever?
- Who was praised as a helpful and honest reader of work?
- Which writer was said to have written a story involving a circus?
- Which writer keeps the class LOL-pin?
- Whose heart was broken?
BONUS QUESTION: Was the prom proposal real or a perfectly orchestrated piece of theater? Or, to put it another way: Can two people really be such talented writers AND great actors? If so, what does that say about life’s inherent fairness? What about those of us who can’t write OR act?
THE PRIZE? The person with the most correct answers will have a personalized poem written about him/her by class member Tucker Iverson ’12 to be read at Morning Meeting. Fame and glory await you!

Bonus: Well clearly since Zoe rejected him Alex’s prom proposal was simply a ‘perfectly orchestrated piece of theater.” I believe that Alex was taking the wait-and-see approach. If she had said yes, you can bet it would have been real. Unfortunately for Alex, twas not meant to be, and so he coolly played it off as just a joke…

There’s no way to know if the answers that come before yours are correct, so go ahead and give it a shot. (In particular, I’d be suspicious of anything put forth by Mr. Alford. How dare he call our girl a stone!)

10. Alex? Unsure of the name, but the one pictured above next to that stone girl he dashed himself against.
Hey! I am not a stone girl! It was a joke! He wasn’t actually asking me to prom, and I was told to respond that way for comedic effect!
stop trying to cover up your cruelty you stone girl!
Okay, if somebody already replied then how can other people fill this out without being suspected of cheating?
