Happy April Fools! Enjoy our annual joke issue, packed full of satirical stories and an Advice Column, where we answer our Vikings’ burning questions (located on pages 6 and 7). We hope everyone has a restful spring break; for the seniors waiting on college decisions, we wish you the best of luck and know it’ll all work out.

In light of real news, a member from our Boba Bots team has been awarded as a Dean’s List finalist, being the very first in Mills history! Congratulations to Sharon Zhang. More victory in the Sports section, with the Girls Basketball D3 CCS win, let’s go Lady Vikings! 

And of course, April Fools isn’t April Fools without a few (many) jokes 😉 For our beautiful city night on the Bay, we hope your dress goes with orange— because you’re required to wear life vests at Prom. You can also get a sneak peek at what our luxurious boat will look like on page 5. 

Eugh! What’s that smell? Looks like it’s coming from the math hall… hard-hitting reporting on this incident can be found in the News section. And suddenly the student parking lot is…full? Seniors are now required to take seven periods, starting in the fall 2025. Have you played these games before? Leadership is hosting our very own Squid Games: Vikings Edition!  

All the best in reporting REAL and trustworthy news,

Elaine Chan & Phoebe Piserchio
