WINONA LAKE, IN- This past week was supposed to be a week of fun and relaxation for members of the senior class at Grace College. It was time for the annual senior class trip, which involved an all expenses paid trip to Kalahari. Unfortunately for seniors, their special time was marred by deception and theft.
Just one day after the trip of was over a careless tweet popped the lid off of the scandal. A junior had posed as a senior and gone on the trip. Tamara Shelton, a junior studying Elementary Education tweeted this on Friday, “haha! i might not have enough credits to be a senior, but i sure had as much fun as one!” This revelation seems to explain a tweet during the first of senior trip, which simply said, “lolz espionage is fun!!!!! lolz! rofl!”
The seniors, who took a resort trip to the Kalahari Desert in South Africa, were infuriated when they found out the truth. The senior class president released a statement condemning Tamara’s actions. “We are very disappointed that someone would not only lie about their academic status, but would also steal fun from the senior class. I mean who on earth thinks it’s okay to actually steal fun? We believe that juniors need to remember their place; the 90-credit barrier has been long established and exists for a reason. They would do well to recognize it.”
Across the campus opinions on the incident vary greatly. Freshman Dylon McTavish idolizes Shelton’s actions, “I mean how cool is that? She’s like a Grace College James Bond. Someday I hope I can be half as successful at lying as her!”
Dean of Students, Jim Swanson said he will be pushing for strong punishments. “Expulsion seems fair, right?”
There is no word yet on how school president Ronald McManahan will deal with the situation.
