Sheares Hall : SHout

The start of the holidays usually marks the 3 months’ rush to the finish line for Rag. This time around, we observed a marked difference from the previous years, as the Rag team began their work early, even before the end of the previous academic year! It sure was odd to find a couple of Rag designers hogging the Block A lift, chatting away as they practiced their drawing for rag, transforming the monkey on the wall into a picture on paper. Their sheer determination in making Rag 0910 a success is admirable.

But what else is there behind the Rag Raffles, and old clothes donations? Well, HMC has approached Rag 0910’s Chairperson, Sean (小白) to get the low-down on how the Rag Team is getting their groove on this vacation!

3 months of vacation is a very long time. A number of us spend it on internships while some try to lighten their semesters’ load by taking special semester. Others just decide to “take a break from it all” a.k.a. slack until the boredom becomes so unbearable, that it makes assignments, lectures and tutorials exciting again (just in time for school to start in August).

For those dedicated to hall, however, holiday plans can be rather different. There’s SECC, that organizes the Sheares Exposure Camp for potential Shearites to experience the vibrancy of Hall life; SWOC, that (as you all should know by now) prepares for the Sheares Welcome Orientation Camp at end of July; whilst those in the Rag team would be busy building the float that will do us proud on Rag Day in August.

And then, there’s Holiday Media Committee (HMC) – a new team, 6 members strong, that had been set up with the sole purpose of keeping Shearites informed with the on-goings of Sheares Hall.

So yes, Shearites, if you’re wondering how the progress is with Rag, or when SECC and SWOC will take place, HMC will be providing fortnightly updates especially for you right here on SHout! Be sure to check back for photos, interviews and more!
