Eagle’s celebrate annual Blue and Gold night festival
Walking through haunted hallways, dancing to Gangnam Style, and Principal Daniel Girard kissing a pig; those are just a few highlights that were featured last night at the annual Blue and Gold night.
“My favorite part was Principal Girard kissing the pig,” junior Nick Rodriguez said. “The pig was so nasty and to see him kiss it was hilarious.”
Class of 2013 hosted the Kiss the Pig booth and let Blue and Gold Night attendees vote on who would kiss the pig and by a landslide vote Principal Girard won.
“It was definitely a contest that Principal Girard did not want to win,” senior Billy Ferren said. “He was a good sport and puckered up for the pig.”
The haunted house, always a popular booth, took place in the band hallway and had a great turnout.
“The line for the haunted house took forever but it was so worth it once we went inside,” Akins alumni Chris Aguayo said. “The haunted house was my favorite event when I went to school here and still is.”
Blue and Gold Night provided a variety of different food booths last night. Latinas Unidos! sold tostadas, the baseball team sold funnel cakes, and many different clubs and organizations sold various foods and drinks such as hamburgers and hotdogs, Takis, snow cones, brownies, and root beer floats.
“The tostadas were really good and the brownies from the Yearbook booth were pretty delicious too,” senior Gina Gonzalez said.
The night ended with the DJ playing Gangnam Style by PSY. Students and attendees rushed to the middle of the courtyard to join in on the popular dance.
“Everybody went wild and started to do the dance to Gangnam style,” junior Christian Hernandez said. “The whole circle in the courtyard was getting groovy. My friends and I had a really fun time.”

I am currently a senior and this is my second year on the Eagle’s Eye staff. This year I was chosen to be the Editor-in-Chief. I’m really excited for what awaits our paper this year. This is a really thrilling year for our paper and I have high aspirations for the Eagle’s Eye paper.
Now more about myself, I was born to discuss sports. I love writing and talking sports with anyone who provides a decent discussion or argument. I’m a HUGMONGUS Redskins Fan. I spend most of my time at school (the newspaper room) or at the gym training Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and boxing. When I’m at home I am usually watching ESPN and tweeting. (@DezWeNeedMoore) I think I have told you enough about me. Check out the site and the rest of the editors and great staff we have here at the Eagle’s Eye.
This year I'm currently a SENIOR ~
Academy :
I am in the AHA Academy here at Akins.
Year on staff :
This will actually be my second year.
Newspaper role :
My role this year is the "Online Editor".
Why on staff ?
I am on staff because I was listening to Nothing Was The Same (NWTS) and then it hit me... I need to do something with my life. And... so yeah... that's how it happened. And also because I enjoy being apart of this staff and all the "inside scoop" we have about the school that most students don't know.
What do you do for fun ?
Well.. as weird as it sounds.. I make videos on the internet and no.. not those type of videos. Sadly. But yeah. My videos can go from me just talking about whatever is on my mind to my friends and i embarrassing ourselves in public. I also have a gangster rap alias by the name of "M-$LΔB" with the hopes and dreams of touring the world and having #1 hits. ok just kidding. But yeah, if you want to check out some of my videos.. just search my name and hopefully it won't be a big waste of your time.
Plans after high school ?
After high school I plan on getting famous and turning up with 2-CHAINZ... and if that doesn't happen.. I plan on attending college and majoring in a field along the lines of Radio, Television, and Digital Communication. Something like that.
