The Saga of HBR and Palm

The girls at Palmgarten acquired a organ...what do high school girls choose to do with an organ...paint it pink of course!! For a dorm fellowship we all got some bright pink spray paint. Here "K" and "K", who are roommates paint the organ.
Everyone in the dorm had a chance to decorate the organ. "J" and "K" are working on the details.

"L" makes sure the keyboard stays white, but the rest is pink. Then late one evening the girls took the pink organ to HBR (Haus Bad Riedlingen), a boys dorm. They left it in the senior hall playing loud organ music.
Then HBR was kind enough to invite the Palm girls over to carve some pumpkins.
The guys and girls were very creative and we even had a pumpkin contest. They looked beautiful. But we left all of the pumpkins at HBR so Stephanie, the dorm mom, and a couple of girls sneakily took 4 carved pumpkins to decorate our front door. Then just an hour or two later the HBR boys stormed the Palm front dorm and SMASHED the PUMPKINS and dumped their bio bucket (left over food) all over our front steps! We had rice that week!

Two of our seniors, "J" and "J", jumped up to help clean up the mess.
It was pretty gross! Luke the dorm dad was not too happy...but we got it cleaned up and even some of the HBR guys came back to help clean up. But still the girls were not too happy with the HBR boys.
So, in the words of the boys, they made and "epic apology!" They dressed up and sang "Stand By Me."
Then they gave us a peace offering.... chocolate cake! Yummmm..... THE END.
