On Friday, August 27th, an impromptu assembly was called for freshmen during their lunch (5th hour). At the assembly, Dr.Garret talked briefly about the fire alarms being pulled. “We have the person, we know at least one [person responsible],” she said, briefly telling freshman that they have one person responsible for the fire alarms going off. “There’s a bet out there, pull the fire alarm, we pay you $20 or something,” she later went on to say. About 4 minutes into the assembly, ironically the fire alarm went off, and then the freshmen were released for lunch.
