Beginning April 1 the class of 2024 started the annual senior assassins game. A common tradition among high school seniors is to play a class game of assassins, sometimes called gotcha. This year the game is run by senior Claire Boma and Kate Peters and an instagram account has been created to keep track of game progress. 

The way assassins work is anyone who desires to play must pay an entry fee of 10 dollars, the participants then each receive a target who they must “assassinate” with a water gun. Failure to assassinate the target leads to elimination, and if someone gets “assassinated” they are also eliminated. After being eliminated you are able to buy back into the game within 24 hours. If someone “assassinated” their target then their target’s target becomes the person’s new target.

There are however certain rules when it comes to getting a target. This includes no playing inside the school building, the Sion parking lot is off limits within 30 minutes of the beginning or end of the school day, you can not get someone while they are working, at a game or practice, or engaged in an extracurricular.

Each week participants will receive a new target and the game will continue until there are three or less players remaining or the school year ends.
