PHOTOS: From Senior Vaudeville to SRO: GHS Stages Seniorit’15

The longstanding tradition for seniors at Greenwich High School, SRO, lost one performance due to Thursday’s snow day. The Friday performance became opening night and hundreds turned out despite the deep freeze.

Though SRO was originally called “Senior Vaudeville,” the show has always served as a benchmark in time, signifying the final push toward graduation. In a word, Senioritis.

This year, the Seniorit’15 skits mocked the college admission process, and gave everyone a chance to vent frustration with attendance, parking and security policies.One funny skit mocked health class, where students learn how to eat with a spoon, chew and swallow. Half way through, one “student” asks the teacher if she can use class time to do homework. Another particularly funny skit recreated inaudible morning announcements.

Headmaster Winters and Patty Kohn sang “Here I Go,” with lyrics written by Angeli Ri in a music video to the tune of “Let it Go.” Previously taped in the headmaster’s office and the parking lots, where he ticketed illegally parked cars, Winters sang, “Let the traffic rage on, Complaints never bothered me anyway.”

The students thanked SRO advisor Ms. Preli and class advisors Ms. Chauvin and Mrs. Turbert, along with Scott Borowka, Ms Freedman and Mr. Foster for tech help. They remembered to thank student activities, security and custodial staff. And, of course, all the parents who have been behind them for four years.

Parents are fundraising and planning the GHS 2015 graduation party. The last hurrah is entirely funded through donations.
