Monday, May 13th, ASA added another installment of their annual display of Asian Culture. A typical cultural celebration, it featured singing dance and a fashion show.
Besides beautiful clothes and singing one of the most noticeable aspects of the performance was the romantic dedications by two male members of the cast. Seniors Mark Xiong and Michael Lee both featured their significant others in their musical numbers.
ASA welcomed other students, not just ASA members to join in and swell their ranks and help out with dances and other sections of the production. Participants collaborated to create a simulated Asian TV station, complete with two student commentators and a reporter on the scene played by junior, Neil Cook.
With the help of outside students and good deal of talent the ASA put on yet another successful show!
![A power outage on Friday May 12 before the start of the school day led many students to leave the building and miss parts of first, second and third hour. “[Staff at the front door] said the power might be on at 11, so [we should] come back to school at 11,” recalled freshman Riley Olson. “A lot of people went back home.” However, Principal Afolabi Runsewe claimed and maintains that students were told to stay in the commons and were never given the option to leave school.](https://www.shsoutherner.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/power-outage.png)
