Tinker Day

Students and teachers are surprised by the announcement in the morning that all the class that day is cancelded on Tinker Day. We all dressed as crazy as we can and clime Tinker mountain together!!
Tuesday started with Tinker Scare at 2:00am and 6:00am... For those who don't know what Tinker Scare is, it's a tradition done by the Seniors during September and early October during the night. It's called Tinker Scare because everyone is looking forward to Tinker Day and the Seniors get to scare/disapoint students by announcing fake Tinker day... They will dress crazily and come running down the dorm hallways banging on pots and pans, screaming "Tinker Scare!!!!" It wakes ME up, so you can imagine how loud they are...
