Year in Review
Year in Review
Another unforgettable year at North Hollywood Elementary. From the Science Fair to the Spring Play, from Quiz Bowl semifinals to the district cooking invitational — here’s everything we’ll still be talking about at our ten-year reunion.
Songs We Couldn't Shake
- The Krelboyne class song — written and performed by Dewey Wilkerson
- "Eye of the Tiger" — played before every Quiz Bowl match, per Reese
- Whatever Reese was humming in the lunch line (still unidentified)
- The Spring Play finale — you had to be there
Moments We'll Never Forget
- The Spring Play — Francis Wilkerson remembered most of his lines
- Dewey's east wing mural unveiling drew the biggest crowd since the fire drill
- Film Friday: the gym projector worked for one full showing
- The cooking invitational — nobody saw Reese coming
Things People Actually Said
- "That's not right, Mr. Herkabe." —Malcolm Wilkerson, repeatedly
- "Malcolm... is... wrong." —Stevie Kenarban, the one time it counted
- "I don't have to listen to you!" — heard daily near the 4th-grade tables
- "We'll discuss this at home." — Lois Wilkerson, via the front office intercom
- "My mother will be calling about this." —Dabney Hooper
In the News
