Club That Actually Wins Spotlight: Mock Trial

Mock Trial, the club on campus with the largest trophy collection, best assembly jokes, highest sibi to non sibi ratio and most moms wanting their children to join, emerged victorious from yet another State Championship Tournament last Tuesday (to no one’s surprise). As honorable, fearless leader Joanna-Timaiter O’Clark de la Hanberts most eloquently stated, “the team [very respectfully] kicked some [wholesome posterior].”

In addition, the Exeter Mock Trial Association has petitioned to create a rank above first place at future Mock Trial tournaments, largely due to the fact that at this point, “just winning” comes too easily for the team.

“We need to be stressed to the point where we’re always on the verge of tears. Therefore, we’re always in search of challenge,” explained O’Clark de la Hanberts. “Of course, I’m not referring to the entire team. I’m just talking about myself in the royal ‘we.’”

This win has been especially effective in lifting the spirits of certain club members, according to upper and girl-running-on-D-Hall-coffee-and-adrenaline, Abby Zhang. “I’ve lost many things this term,” Zhang noted, “including free time, brain cells, tears...[the list went on for a while]…and my livelihood. But winning states definitely cancels it all out.”

When asked for any final thoughts, O’Clark de la Hanberts had only one: “Take notes, MUN.”
