November
Guys, please remember to shave your facial hair. Your face is part of the uniform, and having any hair on it violates the founding principles of our school and sufficiently damages our collective appearance. No excuses.

Field Hockey
Big win for the Field Hockey team yesterday in the seniors’ last home game ever. The Dungeon was in attendance, going absolutely acorns as usual. Tiffany Zhang was not there, as usual.

Shorts
Go to Shorts today at 3:30 and/or tomorrow at 6 if you feel like laughing your ass off.

Twerk Hard Play Hard
Shout out to the Varsity Twerk Team who had some great shaking and baking yesterday as they rolled to a big victory over #1 seed Scripps Ranch. Stay tuned for their CIF Schedule.

Dana
Don’t you dare forget to give Mr. Pierce a big hug.

Lyrics
I love bad bitches that’s my fucking problem and yeah I like to fuck I got a fucking problem

Dungeon Lost in the Dungeon
By: Tiffany Zhang

     “What time is it?” a lifeless sign displays, only to be droned out by enthusiastic Francis Parker cheerleaders. But wait! The Dungeon will save the day!
     Well, maybe they would have if they actually showed up.
     After encouraging the entire Upper School to support the Bishop’s Varsity Football Team and revealing their grand plan to “crash” Francis Parker’s homecoming, The Dungeon seemed to have gotten itself trapped in a dungeon and disappeared for the duration of the game. Despite priding ourselves on being a supportive community, our very own Spirit Team missed the October 26th football game.
     High school students tend to have busy schedules. It’s understandable, but that’s what makes supporting the team an even more commendable act.
     I admire the die-hard Bishop’s sports fans out there. Even just cheering and being there for the team is admirable. It takes a special kind of love to be able to support someone no matter what -- whether they succeed or not. Good thing you have that special love, because while The Dungeon was nowhere to be found, a lonely sign sat as Francis Parker cheerleaders cheered their team to a 35-21 victory.

Tiffany Lost in the Tiffany
By: Dan Forssman

       Hi, Tiffany. My name is Dan. I don’t think we’ve ever met. As a matter of fact, I don’t think you have ever met any of the members of the Dungeon. It’s nice that you are so brave as to trash them in the DU, though. Now, where do I start?
       This Francis Parker football game that you speak of was about three weeks ago. I understand, however, that it must have taken weeks for you to put together such a thoughtful, insightful, well-written article.
       Now, while you have been working on your masterpiece, let me tell you what the Dungeon has been doing. We packed the stands at a big water polo game at La Jolla High. We packed the stands at Volleyball’s senior night game. We led packed stands at Bish Bowl to easily one of the most spirited football games in years. Just yesterday, we attended Field Hockey’s senior night game. And in between these big events, we made our way to an assortment of other games too. Matt Cappetta even drove out to the Barnes Center during a free period to watch the Girls Tennis CIF Finals. All this in a span of about three weeks since that fateful Francis Parker football game you mention. All this while managing senior level classes, juggling Shorts rehearsals and homework, and struggling to meet early app deadlines for college.
       Going to one away Saturday football game and not seeing the Dungeon there does not give you the right to openly criticize, Tiffany. If you actually went to any games for fall sports (more than once), then you might have a clue about what the Dungeon actually does. And if you had any clue whatsoever about what being a senior involves, or what homework even is, then you would probably respect the Dungeon a little bit more.
        “Despite priding ourselves on being a supportive community,” we unfortunately still have people like Tiffany who are eager to criticize. Next time you want to bring down the Dungeon, Tiffany, make sure that you chant “We Run LJ” in a mosh pit of groms on Halloween, go to Field Hockey’s senior night game when you know you have Shorts dress rehearsal til 9 that same day, or prioritize attending every home Volleyball game above homework. Only when you put yourselves in our shoes, can you truly grasp what the Dungeon actually does. Above all, we support our community, clearly the opposite of what you are doing.
         To quote a quality film, “You don’t even go here.”
