= The Yearbook Riots of 2019 =

Lead-up
By the end of the 2018-2019 school year, the Class of 2019 was quite fed up with useless assignment after useless assignment. Tensions came to a head during the yearbook signing day, in which students were instructed to only sign within their crew (roughly 125 students).

Teachers and administration enforced a strict border protocol in the hallways, creating a closed border manned by 3 interns. The desks menacingly divided friends, family, and neighbors, causing widespread tension and chaos. Students were unhappy with their own teachers, and there had been previous incidents, including milk carton attacks in multiple stairwells.

Students had been signing since roughly 1:15, and were previously promised that at 2:00, the hallway would be opened to cross-crew traffic.

The Riots
Around 1:55, large groups of students began to gather near the wall, and had begun to jostle towards the front. Set in the middle of the hallway, it cut off crew 8L from reaching the bathrooms further down the hallway. Some students had managed to sneak by in the early hours of the wall's construction, they now were marched back by hostile teachers.

As time passed, more and more students had begun to gather at the wall, packing the hallway and drastically increasing noise. Soon, chants of "Tear down the wall" and the occasional "Battledome!" rang out down the hallway.

By 2:00, the crowd had been flung into a fury, but with surprising restraint. Students passed yearbooks over the wall and the 3 interns that manned it. Multiple students came away with multiple signatures from friends and others.

Around 2:05, teacher Thomas Reilly came to disperse the growing crowds, and some dispersed, while others pretended to sign crewmates' yearbooks. He returned to his classroom, and the chaos continued. Minutes later, teacher Justin Tomczyk attempted to calm the crowd, saying that the wall was not really a wall, and to stop the chants. Nonetheless, they continued.

At 2:10, crowds of students from the 8L side of the wall surged through the wall, some running into the men's bathroom, in a raging tide of students. Yearbooks were signed, friends reunited. It was a truly shining victory for the protesters.

But little did they know that a teacher had seen the whole thing, and placed a number of frantic calls to the administration, including the Dean and school safety officer. The conflict had suddenly become serious.
